Wed, 12 Aug 2020 at 3:00pm - 3:45pm★SPEAKERJohn Chan, Senior Associate, Dispute Resolution Practice Group★ABOUT THIS ONLINE TALKIt is common for businesses to hire employees on a fixed term contract, on the assumption that the renewal of the fixed term contract is at the option of the employer. However, this may not be the case as the court may decide that a fixed-term contract is in substance a permanent employment contract, the non-renewal of which may amount to unfair dismissal. Join us for this online talk, in which our speaker will discuss the legal principles on fixed-term contracts. The talk will be delivered over video conference using Zoom.us.
