Contract being extended

[Barbel]

What about if your off sick? Will your contract get renewed or is it a great chance for them to get rid?

I suppose if you have a lot of time off sick and are generally unreliable then they won't keep you on

at the end of my first 6 month contract i wasnt told any info if i was going to be kept on but 2 days after the contract ended i got a permanent contract through if you werent being kept on im sure they would have comunicated that.

so you just kept on working and then you got a permanent contract. how long ago was that. what would they say something now or sooner to the end date? would love a permanent contract.

sorry only just came back on here my contract finished on the 27-2-13 and had a permanent contract come through about 2-3 weeks later but like i said wasnt told anything and i was always on the reserve rota so just kept turning up

Royal Mail can terminate employment of a fixed term temp contract employee at any time up to 4 years.

But the law of the land states that any temp employee who passes the 4 years period has to be offered a permanent contract.

Hope this helps.

we had a cwu meeting last summer with area reps and was told by them if you have been employed for 2 years continuously then you have to be made permanent.

It isn't quite that clear cut but good luck.
