This can be agreed contractually. Only if your employment contract stipulates that it must be terminated in advance, you can assume an extension in the absence of timely termination.\n \nAn extension also occurs if your employer allows you to continue working after the employment contract has expired. The fixed-term employment contract is then continued for the same period under the same conditions pursuant to Article 7:668 of the Dutch Civil Code.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55019804426589,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-4278-mijn-half-jaar-contract-loopt-over-iets-meer-2-weken-af-ik-heb-nog-niks-gehoord-of-hij-wel-of-niet","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
