Fixed-Term Employees’ Rights

Fixed-term employees have the right to be treated no less favourably than comparable permanent staff. This course covers who counts as fixed-term, equal treatment, the four-year rule on successive contracts, and what happens when a fixed-term contract ends.

This course gives general information about employment law in Great Britain and is not legal advice. Employment law is changing under the Employment Rights Act 2025, so check GOV.UK and Acas or take advice.
