Fixed Term Employment Contract - Fixed Term Agreement
Fixed Term Employment Contract Template Download
Fixed Term Employment Agreements are used for work confined to the duration of a specific task or project. This type of agreement can be useful if funding is short-term or if a project is of a finite duration. Fixed-term contracts are those that specify the employment will be terminated on a particular date or on completion of a task.
For example, an employee engaged for an interior design project will complete their term of employment when that project is completed. If a project is abandoned or discontinued, any fixed term employment contract linked to its completion needs to include this contingency as an additional trigger for termination.
Fixed term employment may be a fitting choice to replace employees who are absent for a set period of time, such as for long service leave or paid parental leave, or to work on a particular finite project.
Fixed term employees are generally entitled to the same wages and conditions of employment as full-time or part-time employees, depending on the hours worked, but on a proportionate basis for the period of their employment.
The Fixed Term Employment Contract must clearly define the specific task or project. The agreement operates for the specific period of time specified by the parties. The length of the agreement cannot be ambiguous if a using a fixed term contract. The contract must state when the contract begins and its completion. When the agreed end date is reached, the contract will automatically expire without either party needing to take any action terminate it.
Employers need to be aware of how they intend to employ an employee if a fixed term contract is used. It is not feasible for a fixed term contract of employment to run for 5 years, which cannot be terminated by either party with 30 days notice. This is not a fixed term agreement. The best way to approach a lengthy fixed term agreement is to ensure the contract can be terminated before the expiry date stipulated in the contract by one party giving the other a specified period of notice.
