Do you have any Question?

A Fixed-Term Employment Contract for maternity or sickness cover is a temporary agreement between an employer and an employee to fill a role while the regular employee is on leave. The contract specifies a clear start date and an end date, which usually corresponds to the expected return of the absent employee. It includes standard employment terms such as duties, pay, working hours, and leave entitlements, ensuring the temporary employee enjoys the same statutory rights as permanent staff during the contract period.

When the employee on maternity or sickness leave returns to work, or when the agreed end date is reached, the fixed-term contract will automatically end. In most cases, no redundancy payment is due unless the temporary employee has been continuously employed for two years or more. Employers may choose to offer another position or extend the contract if business needs allow, but this must be confirmed in writing. Both parties should understand that the employment is temporary and linked directly to the original employee’s absence.
