Do hotels and hourly workers have to conclude a written labor contract?

Legal analysis: the labor contract between hourly workers and employers can be written or oral. Generally speaking, the oral form is suitable for short-term instant settlement contracts, while the written form is suitable for contracts with a large amount of subject matter rather than instant settlement, which clearly defines the rights and obligations of both parties in writing to ensure that disputes are well documented. For the form of hourly employment, an oral labor contract can be concluded upon mutual agreement. It should be noted that it is stipulated here that an oral labor contract can be concluded. Where a laborer or an employer proposes to conclude a written labor contract, it shall be concluded in writing.

Legal basis: Article 69 of the Labor Contract Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), both parties of part-time employment may conclude an oral agreement. Laborers engaged in part-time employment may conclude labor contracts with one or more employers; However, the labor contract concluded later does not affect the performance of the labor contract concluded before.
