Abstract: | This article examines the contract of employment from an ethical point of view. It develops an argument against the claim that the individual's freedom of decision and the practice of institutional arrangements are sufficient to justify an employment contract. It states that rather sub-criteria regarding the agent's state of knowledge must be met, and that it should be supplemented by a demand for fairness. The purpose is to demonstrate what a resonable contract of employment will require. |
