    For this assignment I'm going to be using my contract from when I was working for LAAK
    Mobility Group as an example.

    I worked for a company called EUROPCAR that was part of LAAK Mobility Group which had
    other car rental companies like FOX. This was my first official job with the first labor contract
    that I had to sign in my life so I was very cautious in the time of signing, I took my time to
    read all the contract just in case. This happened not so long ago, like 5-6 months, so I
    almost remember it all.

    The main clauses that I can remember were, Position and Duties, Duration of the Contract,
    Salary and Benefits, Work Hours and Work Place. So let's say that I remember those 5, for
    this work I´ll be focusing on Position and Duties, Salary and Benefits and Work Place.

    Position and Duties

    Just as the title indicates, this clause is all about your position in the company and your
    duties, this was the clause that everyone took for their advantage, what do I mean by this,
    well for example, when our boss told us to do something (even if it required less than 2
    minutes) they all used to say the same thing every time “what you are asking me to do is not
    on my contract” at first I thought that it was rude, but when you are months in, underpaid and
    tired of dealing with people, this response starts to seem as quite fair to be honest.

    Later I understood that this was one of the simplest but also less respected clauses, what do
    I mean by this? Well, typically bosses tend to “break” these clauses by asking their workers
    to do something that are not their duties or those tasks are for other positions, usually higher
    ones, so workers do the tasks of 2 people but only paid as one.

    Duration of the Contract

    At first, they gave a contract that lasted 1 month, I guess that was some kind of “free trial” in
    case I didn't reach their expectations. I was okay with it because I didn't see anything weird
    on it. After the first month they told me to go to HR to sign my next contract, HR was located
    like 20 minutes away from the office. I thought this time the contract would be for 1 year, but
    it was not the case, it was for 3 months!

    I immediately suspected something but due to my lack of experience I couldn't get to the
    bottom of it, after wrapping my head around for 10 minutes I finally signed. When I arrived at
    the office I asked my coworkers if they also did this and with an angry face they all nodded
    yes. I asked the oldest coworker what was this about and he told me that after the contract
    of 3 months there was one of 6 and finally one of 12 months. The reason for this, the
    company didn't want to generate any seniority with any of its employees, now I understand it
    all.

    There really is not much to say other than CHECK the duration of the contract, the seniority
    in any company will be in your favor, and also to know when you have to resign a contract or
    to not continue working there.
    Salary and Benefits

    The Salary and Benefits section is where you need to be the most careful, especially if
    you're working on commission, in my opinion. In my case, I had a fixed salary and, on top of
    that, a commission that I had already agreed on with the boss in a previous interview. My
    contract stated that my fixed salary was fine and that my commission would be between 5%
    and 9% of the sales I made. There was an error there because I had discussed with the
    boss that my commission would be between 8% and 12%. They made the correction, and it
    didn't go any further, but you also need to check how your salary will look after taxes and
    other deductions, in case you want to remove something like INFONAVIT.

    The other part is the benefits. Besides my salary and commissions, I had statutory benefits
    like health insurance and gas vouchers, which were clearly stated in the contract.

    Lastly, I think it’s very important to check when you’re going to get paid — whether it's
    weekly, biweekly, or some other arrangement. It might sound easy, but it’s extremely
    important to read the contract carefully. If you're not confident, it's a good idea to have a
    lawyer review the contract to make sure everything is in order.

    I wish I had more to say but I have very few experience on the topic, this was my report on
    the Labor Law Contracts.
