Legal requirements for a temporary or fixed-term contract of employment:
Employers should note that in terms of the Labour Relations Amendment Act, 2014 on fixed-term employment, as of 01 January 2015 an employee cannot be appointed on a temporary employment basis for longer than 3 months. There are limited exceptions to this rule, where justifiable reasons exist. If the employer sets the duration for longer than 3 months (without justifiable reason) or continuously renews the fixed-term contract (termed as rolling over the temporary employment contract) then the appointment may automatically become a permanent one, which may entitle the employee to recourse for unlawful dismissal if the contract of employment is not renewed.
