Sample Employment contract Agencys
As an answer to the question might be, who would seriously consider long term employment without a contract? The days of working in a large home and being guaranteed income for satisfactory service without the formality of a legally binding contract have gone the way of the horse and carriage. And, even in those ancient conditions, health care and an assured position were documented as part of the provisions of the estate and in all will and trusts for servants and others who actually took care of the estate. A contract is a necessary obligation that must be signed by both parties, the employed and the employer. The contract must be worded in language that can withstand a court case if situations warrant going to court to settle early termination, for example. Besides giving the employed some legal protection against being abused by his employer if the employed could get legal counsel and the protection of the court, an employment contract lets the employer know that he is hiring the services of the individual and does not, actually, own that individual. An employment contract is one of those civil liberties that people who have had to actually work for a living, have fought and in some instances died for. To have an employer agree to terms of employment like salary, duration, health care, holidays, and pension is a privilege that was actually earned by the working classes. The employment contract gave people who are employed a class above the indentured servant, or the supposedly mindless robots who operated the great machines that gave the modern age its huge technological advances. Millions of those mindless robots had to join and face the fury of wealth and privilege to get the right to a contract that could be used to actually close down a factory if the owners broke the terms of the contract or violated the rights of a single worker. The importance of a contract before undertaking employment is a modern cultural advance espousing the rights of those whose services are required to produce or to manage a factory, an office or even a home.
