Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'employment' (the state or activity of being employed) with 'contract' (a written agreement); together they denote a contract about employment terms. This noun–noun composition is a regular, cross‑linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Employment contract comes from a simple picture: a boss and a worker sit down and sign a written promise about the 'job'. The word contract means a written 'agreement' and employment means the 'job', so employment contract now means the formal paper that explains the rules of working.
