Fixed-term contracts

Fixed-term contracts normally end automatically when they reach the agreed end date. If an employer wants to end the contract earlier, the contract terms and notice provisions need to be checked.

If a fixed-term contract is not renewed, this is generally treated as a dismissal. After the relevant qualifying service, unfair dismissal and redundancy rights may apply depending on the reason for non-renewal.
