Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
When an engagement with a worker —
is made for a period exceeding one month or a number of working days exceeding 26;
is made or the performance of a specified piece of work for an employer, incapable of being completed within one month from the commencement of the work;
stipulates conditions of employment which differ materially from those customary in the district of employment for similar work, the engagement shall be in writing and shall be signed by both parties:
Provided that a worker unable to sign may indicate his consent by affixing thereto the impression of his thumb.
If the omission to make in writing any contract, which is required by this section, is due to the wilful act or negligence of the employer, the worker shall, without prejudice to any right he may have to sue for damages for breach of contract be entitled to apply to the Commissioner for cancellation of the contract.
