Article

Fixed term employees will have the right not to be treated less favourably than a comparable permanent employee where the reason for that treatment is that he or she is employed on a fixed term contract. Less favourable treatment would include inferior contract terms and/or benefits and any other detriment (eg fewer opportunities to receive training or to secure permanent employment). However, an employer will not be liable under the Regulations if it is able to demonstrate that the less favourable treatment is justified on objective grounds.
