What is an employment contract?

Published 18 May 2026 year, 14:00

An employment contract is a document that governs the relationship between an employee and an employer. It defines the rights and obligations of both parties, working conditions, wages, the term of the contract, and the procedures for amending and terminating it.

An employment contract may be concluded in writing and signed by both parties or formalized by issuing an order hiring the employee. An employment contract may be fixed-term or indefinite, full-time or part-time, primary or secondary, depending on the nature of the work and the wishes of the parties.
