Criteria for an employment contract:


- Two people engaged in a work relationship (contractual agreement)
- One party (employee) commits to the performance of work
- Under subordination of the other party (employer)
 Subordination: Whenever one party of the contractual relationship has the right to provide directives and execute control over the
performance of the work  Employer has duty to protect the employee as well as do assume risk of low performance
- In exchange for a pay (salary)


General criteria to assess if someone is an employee or an independent contractor
1. The work needs to be performed personally;
2. the (im)possibility of having control over one’s own work;
3. the freedom (or not) of managing one’s own time schedule;
4. the way in which tasks are performed;
5. the concrete dependency;
6. the permanency of the relationship;
7. the number of working hours;
8. the ownership of equipment;

, 9. the method of payment (hours vs project).

important Health and safety • Maternity/paternity leave • Annual leave • Sick leave • Minimum wages (Bernd Waas, page 46)
