Practice question
An employer admits offering an employment contract that the worker accepted, subject only to a definite commencement date. It argues no relationship can exist because wages have not yet become demandable. What distinction does Aragones require?
- Existence of the accepted obligations differs from when performance and wages become demandable
- No wage payment means no contract can exist under any facts
- Every definite date is a suspensive condition
- An admission of the agreement is legally irrelevant
- Only physical entry into the office creates consent
