What is a part-time fixed-term contract?
A fixed-term employment contract is a contract between an employer and an employee for a fixed period of time under different conditions determined by the Labour Code.
The fixed-term employment contract is said to be part-time when the worker works less than full time, i.e. :
- Legal working week: 35 hours.
- Legal working time per month: 151.67 hours.
- Legal working time per year: 1,607 hours.
Thus, any employment contract imposing a working time on those stated will be qualified as a part-time employment contract.
The challenges of the fixed-term employment contract
A fixed-term contract must not be intended to fill a job related to the normal and permanent activity of the company on a permanent basis. A fixed-term contract can only be concluded for the performance of a specific and temporary task. The use of fixed-term contract is also provided, under certain conditions, in certain sectors of activity.
The fixed-term contract can thus be concluded in case of :
- to replace an employee's absence
- temporary increases in activity
- of seasonal jobs
- of use because of the sector of activity (so-called 'CDD d'usage')
- specific contracts (so-called special fixed-term contracts)
