Let's take a look at the basic contract - not the legal contract,
but the social contract of employment:

"I (employee) will give up some of my time and freedom and work for
you for a set number of hours, doing a set group of tasks.
In exchange, you (employer) will give up some of your money, will
provide a reasonably safe and reasonably congenial work environment,
and will provide the tools and equipment required for me to do the
agreed tasks."


I suspect that if more employees and employers kept that 
often-unspoken, social contract in mind at all times, we'd need fewer
*LEGAL* contracts about employment.
