The local government sector
JHL negotiates collective agreements for municipalities and joint municipal authorities.
Type of contract
Your contract with a municipality or joint municipal authority may be either an employment relationship or a service relationship. Today, the most common form of contract is an employment relationship. Persons in a service relationship are those whose duties include making official decisions.
Employment or service relationship

The terms of employment are determined according to what is stipulated in the collective agreements and legislation.
