Fixed-Term Contracts

Fixed-term contracts are permitted, but they cannot be renewed consecutively for a cumulative total of service exceeding four years. However, a single fixed-term contract can exceed the four year limit. Fixed-term contracts that are repeatedly renewed may be deemed indefinite. The end of a fixed-term contract is considered a dismissal such that the Worker is entitled to the standard dismissal protections including the right to claim unfair dismissal.
