work contracts
Signed employment terms
Work contracts are formal agreements between employers and employees (or between organizations and contractors) specifying terms of employment: duties, compensation, duration, and conditions.
The phrase emphasizes the binding, negotiated nature of labor arrangements: Union representatives are reviewing the new work contracts.
Work contracts may be written or verbal, though significant employment typically requires documentation.
