fixed-term contracts
Employment with expiration
Fixed-term contracts are employment agreements that end on a specified date or upon completion of a particular project, rather than continuing indefinitely.
They're common for seasonal work, parental leave coverage, or project-based hiring: She's on a fixed-term contract through December.
Unlike permanent positions, they typically don't require notice for termination when the term expires.
