Employment Contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee that defines the terms and conditions of employment, including job role, salary, benefits, working hours, and termination clauses. In industries like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and facility management, employment contracts vary based on workforce types, including contract workers, gig employees, apprentices, and consultants.

For businesses managing an external workforce, employment contracts ensure legal compliance, workforce transparency, and dispute resolution. These agreements must align with labor laws such as the Contract Labour Act and Shops & Establishments Act, covering aspects like minimum wages, notice periods, and statutory benefits to protect both employers and workers.
