FAQ
If the employer fails to provide the employee with a contract, they could land up in jail (section 93 of the BCEA) or be liable for a hefty fine (schedule 2 of the BCEA).If there is no contract, or if the employee has never been informed, then he/she has the right to conclude that it does not exist.
Yes, absolutely. Starting work without a signed contract means that your position isn't clear, or even worse it's weak.It also means that the contract is legally enforceable and will be able to support you if you decide to take legal action.

First of all, you can sue your contractor for breach of contract, even without a written contract, and she can sue you as well.See Nolo's article, "Breach of Contract Cases in Small Claims Court," for more on this.

For most types of projects you hire an independent contractor (IC) to do, the law does not require you to put anything in writing. You can meet with the IC, agree on the terms of your arrangement, and have an oral contract or agreement that is legally binding. Just because you can doesn't mean you should, however.
A contractor is a person or company that works on a contractual basis, negotiating deals with different clients to work on specific jobs or projects.Unlike employees, contractors do not carry out regular work for a single employer. Instead, they work for a number of different clients as and when required.
There is no legal requirement for an employee to have a written contract of employment, although having something in writing can make it easier to understand what your contractual obligations and rights are. Sometimes employment contracts can be verbal, which is especially common in small businesses.
