    working in the same company (multinational) for over three years on a series of contracts, at the three year mark i was offered another short contract. this expried and i worked on without contract. i now have been issued with another 9 month contract. is this legal? or can i get an indefinite contract as they didn't give me the contract until a week or two after the last one expired?

    Moved from PI, think you'll get better advice here.

    From Citizens Information



    "Employees may not be employed on a series of fixed-term contracts indefinitely. There are 2 possible situations where this arises as follows:
    • If an employee whose employment started before 14 July 2003 has completed 3 years’ continuous service as a fixed-term employee, the employer may renew their fixed-term contract only once for a period of no more than 1 year.
    • If an employee whose employment started after 14 July 2003 has been employed on 2 or more continuous fixed-term contracts, the total duration of those contracts may not exceed 4 years.
    After this, if the employer wishes to renew the employee’s contract, it must be an open-ended contract unless there are objective grounds justifying the renewal of the contract for a fixed term only."
