Fixed-term employment contract

More than 1,200 fixed-term jobs are expected to be created

A lower court in Athens sided with an employee who worked with successive fixed-term employment contracts in a kindergarten from 2007 to 2018, ruling that these contracts constitute a single contract of indefinite duration.

The court argued that, in this case, the woman covered continuous needs of the employer which did not justify the signing of fixed-term contracts.

Athens' municipal workers announced a work stoppage on July 3 from noon till the end of their shift to demand permanent jobs in place of their fixed-term employment contracts.

The OTA union of Athens also called for a rally outside the Ministry of Interior at 12.30 p.m.
