The employment relationship is established formally through an employment contract. The work contract establishes the responsibilities, rights and obligations of the worker in the organization.
Within the Mexican legislation in the Federal Labor Law in its second Title: Individual Labor Relations, in its Chapter I in Article 20, it says that an individual employment contract, whatever its form or denomination, is one that by virtue of which a person is obliged to lend to another subordinate personal work, by paying a salary.
Article 21 mentions that the existence of an employment relationship and a contract between the person who provides personal work and the one who receives it are presumed.
We observe the obligation of a written contract in Article 24 of the Federal Labor Law, where it indicates that the working conditions must be stated in writing when there is no applicable collective contract.
The document must contain (Article 25 of the Federal Labor Law):
The name, nationality, age, sex, marital status and domicile of the worker and employer.
If the employment relationship is for work or determined time or indeterminate time.
The service or services to be provided, which will be determined as accurately as possible.
The place or places where the work must be provided.
The duration of the day.
The form and amount of the salary.
The day and place of payment of wages.
The indication that the worker will be trained or trained under the terms of the plans and programs established or established in the company, in accordance with the provisions of the law.
