Fixed Term renwal limit & conversion to permanent status
Looking to get something confirmed about employment law here.
I started working for my present employer on July 1st 2000 on a three year contract. This was renewed for another 3 years starting from July 1st 2003.
This [broken link removed].
says
*(1)* Employees on fixed term contracts that commenced prior to 14th July 2003
*Where, on or after the passing of this Act (14th July 2003), a fixed term employee completes or has completed his or her third year of continuous[4] employment with his or her employer or associate employer, his or her fixed term contract may be renewed on only one occasion and any such renewal shall be for a fixed term of no longer than one year.
Does this mean that next time they must make me permanent or can they renew if for another year?
