Explanation / Answer

Yes the contract has to be in writing.

Reason being:

Three parties are involved here Dan, Jen, and Ethel.

Since Dan is hiring Jen to work, a contract to hire should be made between the two.

The contract should contain all the employees terms and conditions, like in this case a 2 years time with 30$ cut.

Also the employer has to pay the employee directly for any work.

Since this is a different case where Jen has requested to pay Ethel, a written contract is must for avoiding future conflicts

all the three parties have to agree and sign on the same

this document would hold in court if any conflicts arise between the three
