When you accept a job, you enter into a legal agreement (or contract) with your employer. This is called your '''employment contract'''. Your employer agrees to pay you a wage and provide other benefits and entitlements in return for your work.  The employment contract will typically set out things like how much vacation you get, any paid sick days you can take, and the rules around overtime. Your employment contract might take the form of a written agreement you sign. Or it could be expressed in other ways. For example, it could be made up in part by a letter or email you receive from your employer before you start working, and in part by terms in an office policy manual or staff handbook.See the People’s Law School website for more on the [https://www.peopleslawschool.ca/everyday-legal-problems/work/rights-work/employment-contract employment contract].
