Chapter 9
Non-renewal of a fixed-term contract
[page 71]Fixed-term contracts normally end automatically when they reach the agreed end date. The employer does not have to give any notice. However, the ending of a fixed-term contract is a dismissal and an employee with enough service can claim unfair dismissal. It is unlawful for employees on fixed-term contracts to be asked to waive this protection.
