work agreement

Job terms document

A work agreement is a formal understanding between an employer and employee—or between collaborating parties—about the terms of their working relationship.

It covers expectations like responsibilities, compensation, hours, and conditions: We signed a work agreement before I started the job.

The term applies to both legally binding contracts and less formal arrangements that simply clarify how people will work together.
