The Contract Of Employment.

The contract of employment is an agreement between an employer and an employee in which the employee has to do a job, while following the employer's orders and the employer has to pay the worker a salary for it.
Also known as employment contract or employment agreement.

        

Now we will ask who can sign a contract? Well, that depends both on the employee and the employer, which I will explain as follows:

• Employee
• Age
• to be older than 18 years old or younger than 18, but legally emancipated (marriage, judicial concessions...)
• to be older than 16 years old, but with parent's or tutor's permission.
• under 16 years old, only for public shows.

• Nationality
• to be a European citizen

• Employer
• to be older than 18 years old or younger, but legally emancipated.
• The employer can be:
• a physical person
• a legal entity
• a joint property

    

In this way, the form of a contract can be:

• Written or verbal in some cases.
• It is also presumed that the contract was permanent and full-time when:
• a writeen contract was compulsory, but it was done verbally.

Some of the minimum contents that a work contract must have are the following:

• place where and the date when the contract was signed.
• the name of the employer and employee.
• the title of the job and the professional group.
• the place of work.
• the hours of work and the work schedule/timetable.
• the start date and the end of the employment.
• payment (base salary and other kind of compensation).
• the annual vacation/holidays.
• the length of notice.

I guess most of you will know that it is the trial period, in my case, I did not know this term. For this reason, I will explain what it consists of.

• It is a period at the beginning of the employment relationship in which employer and employee test if hiring is convenient for both parts.
• The trial period starts from the beginning of the employment relationship and lasts for the time period that has been agreed upon.

• During the trial period, employees have the same rights and benefits as any other way.

  

Now let's see the different types of contracts that exist:

• Permanent contracts
• Ordinary permanent contract.
• Entrepreneurs support permanent contract.

• Temporary contracts
• Perfomance of a specific task or service
• Production overload or blocklog
• Temporary replacement.
• First young employment.

• Training contracts
• Training and learning contract.
• Internship or work esperience contract.

• Part-time contracts
• Ordinary part-time contract.
• Release contract.
• Seasonal employment contract.

This last part of the contract types I explain it to you in the following way. Indicating the necessary information and with some detail.
