Which term is the legal agreement between an employer and employee detailing the terms and conditions of employment?

• A. Employment Legislation
• B. External Recruitment
• C. Contract of Employment
• D. Demography

Answer: (C)

The contract of employment is the legal agreement that sets out the terms and conditions of work—such as duties, pay, hours, holiday, benefits, and notice requirements—and creates binding obligations for both the employer and the employee. It provides clarity and a basis for resolving disputes, and it can be written or, in some cases, verbal or implied by conduct. Employment legislation, while important, refers to the laws governing employment generally (minimum standards, anti-discrimination, health and safety), rather than the specific terms agreed between a particular employer and employee. External recruitment is the process of attracting and selecting candidates, and demography is about population characteristics.
