The fixed-term employment contract
Konstantinos D. Rizos,
PhD, Attorney at Law
Abstract: The fixed-term employment contract was found at the center of
attention to such an extent that it required a legislative provision at European
level. The thesis examines whether Greece complies with Directive 99/70/
EC compared to the corresponding provisions of the German law. The
Greek Courts’ and the European Court of Justice’s judgments are cited and
commented. Further it also examines the range of employers’ obligations and
the respective rights of fixed-term employees deriving from the principle of
non-discrimination. Last, the thesis examines the alternatives available on the
one hand for the increased protection of fixed-term employees, on the other
hand for the treatment of that contract as a flexible form of employment with
security (flexicurity).
