Sure! Let's break it down into simpler terms.
**Oral Contracts:**
- An oral contract is when people agree on something verbally, instead of writing it down.
- If you have an oral job agreement, the company must write down the important details of that agreement.
- This written record must be kept by the employer and a copy must be given to the employee.
- The law says that the written record should include certain basic information about the job.
- It is the employer's responsibility to follow these rules to ensure fair treatment.
**Written Contracts:**
- A written contract is necessary in certain cases, such as:
1. If the job lasts for six months or longer.
2. If it’s a job working overseas.
3. If the work requires someone to do a specific task that will take at least six months to finish.
In short, while verbal job agreements are allowed, important details must be documented, especially for longer-term jobs or specific tasks.
