We are looking to appoint (without advertising) a suitable applicant for a role. However, it's nearly End of 3-Year Contact time, so this person would only get a temporary (but full time) contract. Mid April to End of June 2011.
If we then want to offer the 3-year contract from 1 July 2011, (to our "temp") does anyone see a problem with this being outside of EEO - best person for the job??? I am quite unclear about this, but as an NGO that carries a responsibility to act as Public Servants do, we may have to advertise the 3-year fixed term contract position to satisfy EEO "Principles". (In terms of precidence, the majority of staff are offered renewal 3-year contracts), but no one is technically PERMANENT.
Our employment contracts are very clear about the 3-year term being subject to government funding.
Any thoughts?
