Contract of Employment

All the people who work for another person irrespective of his/her status receive a pay. The person who gives the service is called as an Employer and one who takes the service and gives a payment is called as an Employee. The Employer and Employee relationship starts with the Industrial Revolution. The Employees who had power at that time took the maximum use from the people who worked for them without a pay. The people who suffered working for employees as slaves started to rebel against this system of rendering the service.  With the help of many reformers and International Labor Organization Governments interfered and made laws for the welfare of the Workers.
The Contract of the Employment is the written or oral legal bond between the Employer and the Employee. By this bond the Employee should render service to the employer in his/her capacity while the Employer should pay him/her for the service rendered to him.

The contract of Employment includes the following:
•    Full Name
•    Designation and the type of the job
•    Address
•    Starting Date of the Employment and Ending date
•    Nature of the Employment (Permanent, Temporary)
•    Duties and Responsibilities
•    Working Hours
•    Remuneration and increments
•    Disciplinary Actions

A contract of Employment should be given to each and every person who comes to work along with the Implied and Expressed terms.
Implied Terms-The terms which are not stated verbally or in writing but should be known by the employee.
Expressed Terms- The terms stated verbally or in writing with regard to the Contract of the Employment.
