Written statement of terms and conditions of employment

All employees have a right to be provided with a written statement of the terms and conditions of their employment, unless their employment is for a period of less than one month.

The information that the employer provides may be given in several occasions, but certain items must be given in a single document, described as the principal statement. Reference to other documents is permitted only in relation to certain limited matters. The principal statement does not automatically constitute a contract of employment, even if the employee acknowledges receipt of it with his signature. To be enforceable, the parties must expressly agree that it is the contract of employment.
