Töölepinguid

A tööleping, or employment contract, is a legally binding agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines the terms and conditions of their working relationship. In Estonia, the Employment Contracts Act governs these agreements, ensuring fair treatment and clear expectations for both parties.

A standard tööleping includes essential details such as the names and addresses of the employer and employee, the start date of employment, the nature of the work to be performed, and the location of work. It also specifies the agreed-upon salary or wage, payment schedule, and working hours, including any provisions for overtime. The contract will define the employee's job responsibilities, reporting structure, and any probationary period.

Furthermore, a tööleping addresses important aspects like paid leave entitlements, sick leave procedures, and notice periods for termination by either party. It may also include provisions related to confidentiality, intellectual property, and non-competition clauses. Both the employer and employee are legally obligated to adhere to the terms stipulated in the signed contract. Amendments to the contract must be made in writing and agreed upon by both parties. The existence of a written employment contract is crucial for establishing a transparent and secure employment relationship.
