Is it legal to extend a labor agreement with a fixed term?
The law establishes that you cannot extend a fixed-term labor agreement, even with your employee’s consent because, otherwise, it would be considered to be an indefinite-term labor agreement. When the employees’ duties require special technical training and the employer bears the costs (total or partial) of that training, then the fixed-term labor agreement may have as many as 2 extensions. On the other hand, continuing fixed-term labor agreements, in general, are not possible. Please note that there are some exceptions for continuing fixed-term labor agreements without causing them to convert into indefinite-term labor agreements. These exceptions apply specifically to the Export Processing Zones during the first three years of the labor relationship as well as to the construction business. For example: in cases of permanent positions required for developing a new activity (the activity may be for a maximum of 2 years). Q: How do a labor agreement and a professional services agreement
