Minimum Term Employment Contract

Document background
This Minimum Term Employment Contract is designed for use in Ireland when an employer wishes to engage an employee for a guaranteed minimum period of employment. It is particularly suitable for project-based work, seasonal requirements, or when certainty of employment duration is needed for both parties. The document incorporates all mandatory requirements under Irish employment law, including those specified in the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts and the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003. It provides comprehensive coverage of employment terms while offering flexibility to accommodate various roles and sectors.
