When you accept a job, you enter into a legal agreement | When you accept a job, you enter into a legal agreement 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. | |||
