About the Webinar
Fixed-term contracts can be useful in all sorts of situations, from covering a period of absence to managing project-based work or short-term business needs. But they need to be handled properly. Used without care, they can create confusion around employee rights, renewal dates, permanent status and contractual obligations.
This one-hour webinar gives employers, HR professionals and hiring managers a clear overview of how fixed-term contracts work in England and Wales. The session explains the legal framework, the protections given to fixed-term employees and the practical steps organisations should take when drafting, renewing or ending these arrangements.
You will also look at the risks that can arise when fixed-term contracts are repeatedly renewed, including the possibility of conversion to permanent employment. The webinar will highlight common pitfalls and help attendees understand how to manage fixed-term workers fairly and consistently.
If your organisation uses fixed-term contracts occasionally, or relies on them as part of its wider recruitment strategy, this session will help you approach them with greater confidence.
Joining instructions and webinar links will be sent to the email address provided at registration 24 hours before the session.
