Fixed-Term Contracts

A fixed-term contract is possible if justified on objective grounds such as a temporary increase in work volume or substitution of an employee during parental leave. Without an objective ground, the fixed-term contract is limited to a maximum of two years. If work continues beyond the end of the fixed-term, the contract will be deemed indefinite.
