The legal relationship between employers and employees is based upon the general law of contract. The employment relationship is established by an agreement concluded between an employer and an employee, with the rights and obligations of the parties being mainly enforceable through the courts.
The individual agreement is, however, also regulated and supple-mented by legislation and collective agreements.
