Practice question

An ordinary worker receives a standard one-year form for a usual continuous delivery job, with no meaningful negotiation or special bargaining power. The employer relies solely on the signature to establish a valid fixed term. Which is best?
  1. The signature ends all scrutiny
  2. A uniform form automatically proves equal bargaining
  3. Every one-year period is valid
  4. The employer must establish the qualified basis for the term; the form and signature alone are not conclusive
  5. The worker must buy company shares to question the period
