Common use of Application Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Application Guidelines. An employment contract is a fixed-term one when made for a fixed term or when applied to a defined task, or when the fixed-term nature of the employment is otherwise expressed in the contract. Unless agreed otherwise, a fixed-term employment contract will terminate without dismissal at the termination of the defined task or at the end of the agreed working period. Fixed-term employment contracts can be made on grounds of the nature of the work, substitution, traineeship or other such factor stipulating that a fixed-term contract be made, or on the basis of some other justifiable reason relating to the company’s activity or the work that is the subject of the contract. If a fixed-term employment contract has been made in other circumstances than those referred to above or if fixed-term employment contracts have been repeatedly renewed in sequence without good reason, such employment contracts will be construed as being valid until further notice. Duration of employment cannot always be agreed specifically when making fixed-term employment contracts, particularly as regards seasonal work. In these cases, the end date of the employment should be specified as accurately as possible by determining the factors affecting the employment duration.
