Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act

Congress deplores the attempts by employers in the Public Sector to undermine the entitlements secured under the terms of the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 by refusing to afford to workers who have an entitlement to a Contract of Indefinite Duration the same rights and status as other permanent employees. This abuse is particularly evident in the University Sector where employers refuse to afford the same protection against compulsory redundancy to employees on certain Contracts of Indefinite Duration as is enjoyed by their permanent colleagues.
