Fixed term employment contracts are an option too. They are quite common. E.g. nearly everyone in academia.
I think you have misunderstood the suggestion; it's not about contractors vs. employees, it's about fixed-term versus not.
Fixed-term employees are not classed as contractors. They are regular employees with all the usual benefits and rights of employement - except that it comes to an end at a pre-determined date, unless extended.
- fidelramos 7y agoHow do you expect businesses to gamble with a predetermined end date that will probably not match the actual end of the pandemic? Regulations have many unseen side effects that end up causing damage, people should think harder about them and they would realize that in many cases (most in my opinion) they do more harm than good.
- BeetleB 7y agoI see. So what happens when the contract ends? Can they not apply for unemployment? And if they do, will it still not affect the business's premiums?
