When applying for a job, it`s important to ensure that both the employer and applicant are on the same page when it comes to the terms and conditions of employment. That`s where a contract between the two parties comes in.
A contract is a legally binding agreement that outlines the expectations and obligations of both the employer and the applicant. It`s important to note that not all companies require a contract, but it`s always wise to have one to avoid any misunderstandings or disagreements in the future.
Here`s an example of what a contract between an employer and an applicant might look like:
