Fixed Term Contract

A fixed-term contract is one which either:

• lasts for a specified time, set in advance (for example, for 12 months or on a given date e.g. 1^st April).
• ends with the completion of a specified task
• ends when a specified event does or does not take place (for example, a maternity cover contract, a contract funded from a source for 12 months or a contract which ends when a book has been written).
