Legal assistance with employment contracts

Questioner

At my new employer I received an employment contract for an indefinite period, which should actually have been for a fixed period. They have already signed this, but now they want to turn it into a fixed-term contract, is this possible?

Lawyer

That depends on the agreements you made with the employer. If you agreed that you would receive a fixed-term employment contract, you could suspect that there was a mistake. If there had been no discussion about a fixed-term or indefinite term, you can hold the employer to this offer by returning the signed agreement.
