Art. 320 OR

Wird es vom Gesetz nicht anders bestimmt, so bedarf der Einzelarbeitsvertrag zu seiner Gültigkeit keiner besonderen Form.

Er gilt auch dann als abgeschlossen, wenn der Arbeitgeber Arbeit in seinem Dienst auf Zeit entgegennimmt, deren Leistung nach den Umständen nur gegen Lohn zu erwarten ist.

Leistet der Arbeitnehmer in gutem Glauben Arbeit im Dienste des Arbeitgebers auf Grund eines Arbeitsvertrages, der sich nachträglich als ungültig erweist, so haben beide Parteien die Pflichten aus dem Arbeitsverhältnis in gleicher Weise wie aus gültigem Vertrag zu erfüllen, bis dieses wegen Ungültigkeit des Vertrages vom einen oder andern aufgehoben wird.
