A fixed-term contract ends automatically and legally on the agreed date. In the case of a fixed-term contract starting at six months, the employer must indicate in writing to the worker whether the fixed-term contract ends and under what conditions. The situation changes when a party wishes to terminate the contract before the agreed date. In this case, the option to terminate the contract must be part of the contract before the end date. If the employer wishes to terminate the contract before the agreed date, it must follow a legal procedure for termination. For more information, please contact UWV Werkbedrijf.

A trial period is a regular part of a fixed-term contract with an employer. The trial period applies to both parties and must be the subject of a written agreement. If the term of the fixed-term contract is less than two years, the maximum trial period is one month. Exceptions can only be made if a collective employment contract is applicable.

The maximum legal trial period for an indeterminate contract or a fixed-term contract of two years or more is two months without the possibility of renewal. Fixed-term contracts of six months or less cannot have a trial period. In addition, a trial phase is not valid if the employee is doing work that he or she has previously done in another location of the company. They can be released during the trial phase.

This means that there is no evidence of a desire to limit the duration of the contract, for example.B.“ „for the duration of the project.“ Therefore, unlike fixed-term contracts, no deadline is mentioned in an indeterminate contract. The „notice“ will also be different in the case of an indeterminate contract, since your legal status is different.
