The issue of fixed-term employees is more difficult and must be handled with care. I am glad that we have at least made some progress in this regard. The bottom line is simple, namely, that no one has difficulty with the use of fixed-term contracts of three or six months for a particular purpose, provided there are genuine reasons for employing the person in question for the specified period and purpose. However, we must get to grips with the practice of employers retaining staff on a casual or temporary basis, specifically to avoid affording them the rights to which they are entitled under law. I understand this forms part of the underlying purpose of the Bill.
