Fixed-Term Contracts

Fixed-term contracts are permitted in Ethiopia for a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years. Fixed-term contracts may be renewed an unlimited number of times. However, after the expiration of the probationary period, a fixed-term contract has the same termination requirements as that of a permanent contract. Also, if the work becomes permanent in nature or does not fulfill the characteristics of a fixed-term agreement, it may be deemed permanent.
