- The Afghan Labor Law requires a written agreement between employer and employee.
- The contract should include the essential terms of agreement, including the wage, the location and type of work/service of the employee. It should further set out the duration of the agreement, working hours and days, and leave entitlements.
- Employment contracts may be concluded for a definite or indefinite period of time and may be full-time or part-time.
- Employment contracts may also be limited to the provision of a specific task or work.
- A definite contract is for a period of one year. Any contract with a duration exceeding one year is considered to be a contract for an indefinite term.
