Advanced Directive

An employment contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines the terms and conditions of employment. It typically includes details such as the job role, salary, work hours, benefits, confidentiality clauses, termination provisions, and other rights and obligations of both parties. By setting clear expectations, an employment contract protects the interests of both the employer and employee, ensuring mutual understanding and compliance with labor laws.
