Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
Section 10(1) should be deleted and replaced with the new words "where an employee has completed one year of continuous employment with his or her employer or associate employer, his or her fixed-term contract may be renewed on only one occasion and, where the combined period of the fixed-term contracts exceeds four years, the contract shall be regarded as being a contract of indefinite duration". Unless I am missing some point, I do not think that is unreasonable. That is as close as I can get to my understanding of what we were trying to achieve. What is the Department's view on this? This amendment seems reasonable to me.
