What the government and the ILO publish, in plain words. Laws change: your contract and the official page always win over this summary.
The ministry says employment relations arise from a written employment contract, and the employer must conclude one when hiring. The contract is made in two copies, and the employer must give the employee one within three days of signing. It must state the basic salary or how it is set, the working-time schedule and the type and length of annual leave. The ministry's page does not say whether this applies differently to foreign workers.
