My employer never gave me a written contract

Section 7 requires employers to provide written employment terms within 3 months. Failure to do so is a legal violation.

Section 9 sets minimum standards that apply even without a written contract: monthly wage payment, minimum age 16, and employer liability.

Without a written contract, the default notice periods in Section 11 apply based on your length of service.

You can enforce your employment rights through the courts even without a written contract.
