If it is not filed, it will not take effect, so collective contracts must be filed.

If it is an individual contract, according to Article 16 of the Labor Contract Law, the labor contract shall come into effect after the employer and the employee reach an agreement through consultation and sign or seal the text of the labor contract. That is, as long as the terms of the contract are legal, they can take effect after being signed or sealed.

However, the filing of labor contracts belongs to territorial management, and some local labor bureaus have requirements. You'd better consult the local labor bureau.
