A template employment contract which is designed to be used for individuals employed by the business on a fixed-term basis, and at a mid-level in terms of seniority of responsibility.

Very often a business will wish to employ an individual to provide additional technical support, or where it is envisaged that there will be an increased workload for a set period. Rather than employ additional resource on an ongoing basis, employers often choose the relative security that comes with fixed-term employees. This template employment contract sets out the employment terms that will bind both the business and the fixed-term employee, and are designed to provide as much protection to the business as possible.

The template allows you to detail the precise type of fixed-term that is to be offered to the employee, and whether it is to terminate on a set date, be for an initial fixed-term and then continue on an ongoing basis or otherwise. It is designed to be flexible, and to allow you to tailor it to your needs.

Unlike the premium fixed-term employment contract, this template employment contract does not contain any restrictions on the activities that the employee can undertake following the termination of employment. As such, it should not be used for cases where the fixed-term employee’s future activities will be of concern to you.

In using this template employment contract to record the terms of employment of a new fixed-term employee, you may also wish to consider our offer letter in addition. This has the benefit of setting out for the employee in a digestible form the terms that are provided in more detail in the contract itself.

The contract is 16 pages long, and contains detailed provisions which include:

1. Appointment and Duration
2. Duties
3. Place of Work
4. Hours of Work
5. Salary
6. Expenses
7. Bonus
