Fixed-term Worker
An employee whose employment contract has an end date determined by objective conditions.
Definition
A 'fixed-term worker' refers to a person having an employment contract or relationship entered into directly between an employer and a worker where the end of the employment contract or relationship is determined by objective conditions such as reaching a specific date, completing a specific task, or the occurrence of a specific event. This definition is crucial for identifying the category of workers to whom the Directive's protections apply, distinguishing them from those on indefinite contracts.
