• The day agreed as weekly rest.
• The precision on facilities to access compulsory basic education or higher education, technical or professional training, as appropriate.
• Benefits granted by social security such as health, economic and social benefits.
The amount stipulated by the norm of the home employer should not be less than S / 930. As the law reads, the conditions will be established by free agreement of the parties, but may not exceed a full eight-hour day.
