A contract of employment is based on mutual consent and establishes a professional relationship where both the employer and employee have rights and obligations. Unlike a contract for servitude, which often involves coercion or lack of freedom, an employment contract allows for voluntary participation and the ability to terminate the agreement under defined conditions. Additionally, employment contracts are typically governed by labor laws that protect workers' rights, ensuring fair treatment and compensation.

The effect of an employment contract on an at-will employee would be to set salary, benefits and so on as long as the employee worked at that employer.
Common punishments for breaking the rules of indentured servitude included extension of the servitude term, physical punishment such as whipping, fines, or in severe cases, imprisonment.

If you are going to have a contract for employment, you should sign and receive a copy of it before you begin working - in fact the contract should specify a date of commencement of your employment.
