When to use a temporary employment contract form

In employment law, a fixed term employment contract is one that has a termination date.

The duration of a fixed term employment contract may be for any period and the employment contract may provide that a notice to terminate the employment earlier than the original termination date can be given; if there is no notice provision, employment is guaranteed for the full period.

A fixed term employment contract will automatically expire at the end of its term.

By law, employers must provide a written statement which sets out the main terms and conditions of the employee’s employment within eight weeks of the job starting.

This Temporary Employment Contract/Fixed Term Employment Contract template ensures that you comply with your employer obligations set out by employment law.
