You and the employer are able to enter into a contract of employment in writing (both of you sign the contract of employment), verbally (both of you agree to the commencement of work in a personal conversation or on the telephone) or electronically (both of you agree to the commencement of work via text, WhatsApp or email). The employer must have provided you with a written record of this contract after one month at the latest. In question 5) you will find out what to do if you have not received a contract of employment from the employer.
