Employment PowerHour Webinar - Thursday 3rd December 2026

Join us on Thursday 3rd December for our next online Employment PowerHour.

Fixed-term contracts have offered employers valuable flexibility, particularly in the context of short-term resource requirements or to cover sickness and family leave. The reduction in the qualifying period for unfair dismissal will, however, impact that flexibility moving forward. It begs the question: are fixed-term contracts still going to be of value to employers?

In this PowerHour, our team will provide a practical guide to using fixed-term contracts effectively, particularly with the changes to unfair dismissal rights.

We will cover what constitutes a fixed-term contract, how these arrangements should be documented, and the key protections available to fixed-term employees, including protection against less favourable treatment and the four-year rule for successive fixed-term contracts.

We hope you are able to join us.
