Renewal of fixed time contracts
Posted: 12 Jul 06 8:52 AM
This week Buddy was asked:We have an employee who started working for us 5 years ago on a 12 month fixed term contract, however since then his 12 month fixed term contract has been renewed annually. He recently said to us after reading an article in the newspaper that owing to his continuous service over this length of time, he will soon become a permanent employee of the company. Is this correct?

Buddy says: Your employee is correct. From 10 July 2006 employee's with at least 4 years continuous service who are on second or subsequent successive fixed term contracts will be granted permanent employee status automatically.

Employer information: The Fixed Term Employees (Prevention of Less favourable Treatment) Regulations 2002 contain provisions that prevent the use of successive fixed term contracts by employers unless objectively justified. Therefore, if an employee has been employed on a series of successive fixed term contracts, that employee is deemed to be employed on a indefinite contract. Any service prior to 10 July 2002 is not included in the calculation for length of service - therefore the first date that fixed term employee's will start to gain permanent status from is 10 July 2006. The regulations do not apply to freelance workers.
