Wat is Fixed-Term Contract? | HR-woordenlijst | BambooHR
An employment contract that ends on a set date or on completion of a specific task or project.
A fixed-term contract is one that runs for a defined period or until a specific task is finished, rather than continuing indefinitely. It suits seasonal work, projects, or covering for absences such as maternity leave.
Fixed-term employees are generally entitled to comparable treatment with permanent colleagues, and successive renewals can, over time, convert the arrangement into permanent employment.
Employers should manage these contracts carefully, giving proper notice of non-renewal and monitoring how long someone has been on rolling fixed terms.
