It won't work. In the UK there's the same law, after 3 months a temp contractor needs to be given the same rights as a full-time employee, what happens? They get laid off at 11 weeks and replaced.

It means that any job in which the startup time (i.e. how long it takes to become “effective”) is relatively long basically can’t be fulfilled by temp positions. In other words, those types of jobs would need to be fulfilled by full time employees. Of course as you say the rest of people with more generic/widely applicable skills (which basically is a contractor) will be let go at week 11, but they should be able to find something else. Of course the system isn’t perfect and surely some of those more generic skilled workers would prefer to stay longer, but it sounds like your description of the system is the way it’s intended to be.
