Fixed-term employment contract

According to Article 12 of the Labor Code, with subsequent amendments and completions, the individual employment contract is concluded for an indefinite period.

As an exception, the individual employment contract may be concluded for a determined period of time, under the conditions expressly provided by law.

Thus, according to Article 82, by way of derogation from the rule provided for in Article 12 paragraph (1), employers have the possibility to hire, in the cases and under the conditions of this Code, salaried staff with individual fixed-term employment contracts.

The individual fixed-term employment contract can be concluded only in written form, with the express specification of the duration for which it is concluded.

 The individual fixed-term employment contract may be extended, under the conditions mentioned below, and after the expiration of the initial term, with the written agreement of the parties, for the period of carrying out a project, program or work.

It is important to emphasize that between the same parties can be concluded successively at most 3 individual employment contracts for a determined duration.

Individual fixed-term employment contracts concluded within 3 months of the termination of a fixed-term employment contract are considered successive contracts and may not have a duration of more than 12 months each.

Thus, according to Article 83, the individual employment contract may be concluded for a specified duration only in the following cases:

  1. a) the replacement of an employee in case of suspension of his employment contract, except for the situation in which that employee participates in the strike;
  2. b) the increase and / or temporary modification of the structure of the employer’s activity;
  3. c) carrying out seasonal activities;
  4. d) in the situation in which it is concluded on the basis of legal provisions issued in order to temporarily favor certain categories of unemployed persons;
  5. e) hiring a person who, within 5 years from the date of employment, meets the retirement conditions for the age limit;
  6. f) holding an eligible position within trade unions, employers’ organizations or non-governmental organizations, during the term of office;
  7. g) hiring pensioners who, in accordance with the law, can cumulate the pension with the salary;
  8. h) in other cases expressly provided by special laws or for the development of works, projects or programs.

         We emphasize that an individual fixed-term employment contract cannot be concluded for a period longer than 36 months.

If the individual fixed-term employment contract is concluded to replace an employee whose individual employment contract is suspended, the duration of the contract will expire upon termination of the reasons that led to the suspension of the individual employment contract of the incumbent employee.

The employee employed with an individual fixed-term employment contract may be subjected to a probationary period, which shall not exceed:

  1. 5 working days for a duration of the individual employment contract of less than 3 months;
  2. 15 working days for a duration of the individual employment contract between 3 and 6 months;
  3. 30 working days for a duration of the individual employment contract longer than 6 months;
  4. 45 working days in the case of employees employed in management positions, for a duration of the individual employment contract of more than 6 months

 

Employers are obliged to inform employees employed with a fixed-term employment contract about the vacancies or jobs that will become vacant, corresponding to their professional training, and to ensure their access to these jobs on equal terms with those employed with individual employment contract for an indefinite period.

This information is made through an announcement posted at the employer’s premises. Regarding employment and working conditions, employees with a fixed-term individual employment contract will not be treated less favorably than comparable permanent employees, only on the grounds of the duration of the individual employment contract, unless the different treatment is justified by reasons. objectives.

We mention that the comparable permanent employee represents the employee whose individual employment contract is concluded for an indefinite period and who carries out the same or a similar activity, in the same unit, taking into account the professional qualification / skills.

There are situations in which there is no employee with an individual employment contract concluded for an indefinite period comparable in the same unit. In this case, the provisions of the applicable collective labor agreement or, in its absence, the legal regulations in the field are taken into account.
