1.1 The Basics
The formation of the employment contract is generally subject to the same requirements as any other contract. There must be an offer and an acceptance (either oral or in writing), an intention to enter into legal relations and some benefit to both parties.
For the purposes of contract law, it is irrelevant whether the contract is in writing. So to the lawyer, a contract of employment is the agreement between the parties, not a written document.
