Interim temporary employment contract
What is an interim temporary employment contract?
An interim temporary employment contract is a contract that is entered into when it is necessary to make up for the absence of a permanent worker, which is why it is also known as a substitution contract.
When to use this contract?
This contract can be used for the following situations:
- Temporary replacement of a company worker who has the right to reserve the position, in cases such as leave of absence, sick leave, maternity or paternity leave.
- Coverage of a position during the selection or promotion process for its final occupation.
- Substitution of a working partner, in cases such as risk during pregnancy or maternity leave, adoption or foster care, gender violence, among others.
When not to use this contract?
If what you want is to draw up an indefinite employment contract, at Seedfy we have an indefinite employment contract model.
In the event that you want to enter into a contract to deal with the occasional and unpredictable increase in the company’s activity, at Seedfy we have the eventual temporary work contract model due to production circumstances.
