With the flexibility of labor and the constant changes in technology have come new types of relations, which translate into a new form of contracts. This modest work, based on books by prominent lawyers, establish a general classification of employment contracts and contract classes noted in Bolivian legislation. Before developing the central theme, it is necessary to review some basic concepts, which in future will help us better understand the concept of contract.

" (William Cabanellas). "The Labor Contract is any convention to which the employer or the worker or employer and employee mutually undertake these work or to perform any service or intellectual, and those to pay for such work or service a renumbering determined "(Art. 1, Chile Labour Code)." means a contract of employment, whatever their denomination, that by virtue of which a person or persons so required to perform a work, or provide a service, one or more employers, or a legal person of character, under the jurisdiction thereof, for remuneration, which regardless of the type or form of it "(Workers' Statute, Spain).
