For many young partners who have just entered the workplace, the contract is a sharp weapon to safeguard their own interests, so many people don't know whether it is better to have a fixed term or not. What are the advantages and disadvantages of fixed-term labor contracts? In order to help you better understand the relevant legal knowledge, I have compiled the relevant contents. Let's have a look.

First, the advantages and disadvantages of fixed-term labor contracts

Advantages: The fixed-term labor contract has a wide scope of application and strong adaptability, which can not only maintain the relative stability of labor relations, but also promote the rational flow of labor force, which is conducive to the rationalization of resource allocation. It is a kind of labor contract widely used in practice.

For those perennial jobs that need continuity and stability, as well as jobs with strong skills, it is suitable to sign long-term fixed-term labor contracts. For general, seasonal, temporary, flexible employment and occupational hazards, it is advisable to sign a relatively short-term fixed-term labor contract.

Disadvantages: for workers, it means that they must find a new job after the contract expires, and there is a risk of being dismissed.

Second, the difference between non-fixed-term labor contracts and fixed-term labor contracts

(a) the labor contract does not stipulate the term, which is a remarkable feature of the non-fixed-term labor contract different from the fixed-term labor contract;

(2) Unless there is a legal or agreed termination of the contract, this contract can be terminated only after the employee retires. Therefore, the open-ended labor contract has strong stability. Labor contracts can exist within the legal working age of workers and the duration of the enterprise, and can only be terminated if they meet the special circumstances stipulated by laws and regulations. It should be mentioned that when there is an agreed termination of an open-ended labor contract, the employer needs to pay the corresponding economic compensation to the employee. Therefore, when concluding a labor contract, the employer may not stipulate the legal termination conditions in the labor contract as the agreed termination reason. This kind of labor contract is mainly applicable to professional or technical positions, jobs, or workers with certain service years.

Three. What is the longest fixed-term labor contract?

The term of a labor contract refers to the time from the beginning to the end of the labor contract, or the legally binding term of the labor contract. Generally, it starts from the effective date of the contract and ends when the contract is terminated.

A fixed-term labor contract refers to a labor contract in which the employer and the employee agree on the termination time of the contract. Specifically, it refers to the time when the parties to a labor contract clearly agree on the start and end of the contract. When the term of the labor contract expires, the labor relationship is terminated. If both parties reach an agreement through consultation, they may also renew the labor contract and extend the term. Fixed-term labor contracts can be short-term, such as half a year, one year or two years, or long-term, such as five years, ten years or even longer. No matter the length of time, the start and end dates of labor contracts are fixed. The specific time limit shall be determined by both parties according to work needs and actual conditions.

Therefore, if the employer and the employee sign a fixed-term labor contract, the longest term shall be determined by both parties through consultation; If an open-ended labor contract is signed, it is not necessary to determine the termination time.

These are the advantages and disadvantages of fixed-term labor contracts that I introduced to you. To sum up, the advantages and disadvantages of fixed-term labor contracts are obvious.
