Creation and Development of Employment Relationships

Employment Contract

The employment contract is the primary document that defines the relationship between the employer and the employee. It must be in writing and include the following elements:

1. Party data.
2. Description of the employee's responsibilities.
3. Payment and compensation terms.
4. Work schedule and breaks.
5. Contract term (Article 12).

Practical example: An employee engaged in a six-month project must have a contract specifying the start and end dates of the employment relationship.

Types of Contracts

The Code defines several types of contracts, including:

1. Untermain contracts.
2. Fixed-term contracts for seasonal work.
3. Part-time contracts, which must proportionally respect labor rights (Article 14).
