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.
