Fixed term contract and temporary contract: new rules since july 2018

The news rules are:

1. the reduction in maximum duration, 12 months, without justifications;

2. the introduction of an obligation to outline why a fixed term contract is being used between 12 and 24 months.

Fixed term contracts may not exceed 20% of the total workforce, however a collective agreement can vary these limitations.

Temporary agency work

The new provisions also apply to fixed term employment contracts between temporary work agencies and employees hired to be sent to companies.

The total number of temporary agency workers and fixed term workers employed by the user cannot exceed 30% of permanent workers.
