The employment contract is executed in writing; a counterpart is given to the employee with acknowledgment of receipt. The employer may issue a hiring order whose content must match the contract. Probation is agreed in the contract and applies only to eligible categories; absence of such a term means hiring without probation.

The employer provides the agreed work, safe conditions, necessary resources and reliable information, pays wages on time, records working time and ensures mandatory guarantees.

Shift schedules are communicated to employees in advance within the prescribed time limit; working two consecutive shifts is prohibited. Under aggregated working time recording, a lawful reference period and standard hours are established, and hours exceeding the standard are recorded and paid under overtime rules.
