That is also my understanding from Legal Studies many years ago(although as the man said, a verbal contract is not worth the paper it's written on).
Of course there must be a consideration, which would presumably be the wages (but does the contract exist before the consideration is coughed up? Probably - for example if a written contract is posted it exists from the moment of posting, rather quaintly). And it must be reasonable and legal.
We owe the dead nothing but the truth.
