An employment contract is an agreement between an employee and an employer, according to which the employer provides a workplace to the employee for the performance of his labor functions (in accordance with labor protection standards, collective labor agreements) and guarantees a certain level of wages, and the employee, in turn, undertakes to fulfill his labor function, to comply with the internal regulations.
Instructions
Step 1
An employment contract can be concluded both for a specific (fixed-term employment contract) and for an indefinite (without specifying a period) period. A fixed-term employment contract must be concluded in cases where it is not possible to establish an employment relationship for an indefinite period. Such obstacles may be the specific nature of the performed labor functions, or the conditions in which they will be performed.
Step 2
The absence in the text of the employment contract of a clause on the duration of its validity indicates that it was concluded for an indefinite period. In the event that the term of the agreement has expired, but none of the parties has requested its termination on this basis (i.e., due to the expiration of its validity period), the term condition loses its force and it is considered concluded for an indefinite period.
Step 3
Article 79 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation defines the grounds for terminating a fixed-term employment contract. The main one is its expiration. Upon termination of an employment contract on this basis, the employer must notify his employee in writing at least three days before the expiration of the term.
Step 4
In cases where an employment contract was concluded for the purpose of performing a specific task, it terminates at the end of its execution. Similarly, employment contracts that are concluded for the purpose of performing temporary (seasonal) work are terminated. If a fixed-term employment contract was concluded in order to replace a temporarily absent employee, it terminates upon the latter's return to his workplace.
