Response categories are listed below:
1 Limited duration
The contract of employment is limited to a certain duration e.g. six months. A seasonal employee is hired for a limited time because the work is only necessary for a certain season.
2 Permanent nature
A permanent contract is one with no defined termination date (other than retirement) under which all conditions of employment are offered as specified in the letter of appointment and written particulars of terms of appointment.
3 Unspecified duration
A contract of unspecified duration does not have an expiry date. It expires when the employer informs the employee of their likely conclusion.
