Fixed-Term Employment Contracts And Their Termination

A. Definition, Establishment, and Renewal of Fixed-Term Employment Contracts:

Employment contracts may be established as fixed-term or indefinite-term contracts depending on the nature and duration of the work. In addition, these contracts may be structured as full-time, part-time, with probation period, or in other forms suitable for different working arrangements.

Pursuant to Labor Law No. 4857, a fixed-term employment contract is defined as an employment contract established in writing between the employer and the employee based on objective conditions such as fixed-term work, completion of a specific task, or the occurrence of a specific event. In this respect, fixed-term employment contracts may be entered into for the purposes of (i) time-bound projects, (ii) completion of a specific task, or (iii) ensuring the occurrence of a specific event.
