fixed term contract employee
A fixed-term contract employee is someone who works under an agreement that ends after a specific period, such as on a predetermined date, or after a certain time frame or season.
Fixed-term contract employees are brought on board for a role that has a clear finish line, such as a temporary project, a seasonal peak in business, or to cover for someone on leave. Their employment is bound by the duration defined in the contract, meaning their job ends when this period expires without the need for a dismissal or resignation.
