An employment contract forms the foundation of the employment relationship and should contain very specific information to ensure that there are no ambiguities between employer and employee regarding their respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations. In a world of uncertainty, employment contracts can be immensely valuable to employers and employees, as they legally establish and define the working relationship and outline key obligations, expectations, and entitlements.
