Employment Contracts

An employment contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee setting out the important terms and conditions of employment, including wages, hours, holiday and sick leave, and disciplinary and grievance procedures. To be an enforceable employee agreement, an employment contract doesn't have to be a formal, written contract or an employee offer letter. It can be an oral contract for "at will" employment. In some circumstances, a written employee handbook can take the place of a formal, written employment contract, as can state employment contract law governing issues like working hours, working conditions, and the minimum age of employees.
