Section 10(1) provides that the contract of a fixed-term employee may be renewed on only one further occasion, without restriction as to duration, after the fixed-term employee has completed at least three years of continuous employment. Section 10(2) provides that where any term of a fixed-term contract purports to contravene subsection 10(1), that term shall have no effect and the contract concerned shall be deemed to be a contract of indefinite duration. Section 10(3) provides that, for the purposes of section 10(1), the service of an employee shall be deemed to be continuous unless the service is terminated by (a) the dismissal of him or her by the employer or (b) the employee voluntarily leaving his or her employment.
