1. Are fixed term employees entitled to the same non-statutory benefits as a permanent employee for the length of their contract?
e.g. private health insurance, access to corporate gym membership etc.
2. Also what is the opinion around having rolling extensions of Fixed contracts if there is genuine reason that it’s not possible to make the role permanent? I.e. company is awaiting new project work to be signed off which has been delayed twice, at present we can only see 6 months ahead, hence requirement for a 3rd 6 month extension.
I realise that once we go over 12 months redundancy payments will apply if this situation occurred.
Thank you
