UK regulations expected to favor fixed-term employees

New UK regulations concerning Fixed-term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) are expected to abolish waivers of redundancy rights in fixed-term contracts, give employees on fixed-term contracts the right to be informed of suitable vacancies at the establishment where they work, and establish a rule that after four years of continuous employment, fixed-term employees are considered permanent.
