- Working Contracts
-
Employment contracts are regulated by law. Collective agreements and individual negotiations complement it.
The terms of the employment contracts are very rigid.A work contract is either signed for an indeterminate period (Contrat à Durée Indéterminée/ CDI), which it is most often the case, or for a fixed term (Contrat à Durée Déterminée/ CDD). The CDD cannot last more than 24 months, including renewals. It can only be renewed twice and only if the initial contract includes a renewal clause. The Law strictly defines the framework of using a fixed-term contract. It is contracted for the accomplishment of precise and temporary tasks in a company.
