Identify the actual arrangement
A job title does not establish the legal form of the relationship. Ask who signs the agreement, who pays you and which duties are included. Read the terms before starting and obtain qualified advice if you do not understand a clause or the proposed arrangement.
Check your own eligibility
Requirements depend on citizenship, residence status and the work involved. Verify your right to work through the competent authorities. Permission to enter a country is not by itself proof that you may work there. Keep your original documents and use agreed channels for necessary copies.
Keep the relevant records
Retain the offer, contract and payment information relating to your work. Clarify hours, variable pay and how the arrangement can end. This guide is a practical checklist, not a determination that a particular job is lawful; that requires the actual facts and appropriate professional assessment.
