Fixed Term Employees Regulations
Employers must not treat fixed-term employees less favourably than permanent employees.
Fixed-term employees therefore have the right to:
- the same pay and conditions
- the same or equivalent benefits package
- be informed about permanent employment opportunities in the organisation
- protection against being selected for redundancy or dismissal simply by virtue of being on a fixed term contract
- Auto Enrolment to Pension Scheme. (Employer to auto enrol eligible employees onto a suitable Pension Scheme will apply for employees on a fixed term contract).
Anyone who’s worked continually for the same employer for 2 years or more has the same redundancy rights as a permanent employee.
