You have to write every thing down in a written contract. A legal contract, wich you can get at the Labour Deparment, is much easier and you can't forget important agreements. At the Labour Department you can get a guide about the rights and rules between helpers and employers. It says, for instance, when you have to pay your helper and what is the minimum wage, how many ours they are allowed to work per day and when the have time of,etc. Helpers have to have one day of per week but you can see a lot of helpers, who have a Chinese boss, working both Saturday and Sunday.
