Our London employment lawyers can help those on fixed-term contracts who feel that they have been treated less favourably as a part-time worker than those in full-time employment.
For example this applies to:
Terms and conditions
Hourly rates of pay
Holiday allowance
Sick pay
Maternity/paternity leave
Training
Access to occupational pension schemes
Selection for redundancy
It is unlawful to treat an employee on a fixed-term contract less favourably than similar permanent staff working for the same employer. This limits the scope for employers to use successive fixed-term contracts for what is effectively a permanent position. In circumstances where an employer attempts to use rolling fixed-term contracts, the Employment Tribunal may view the fixed-term contract as a permanent contract.
If you are a part-time worker or an employee on a fixed-term contract and are concerned that you are being treated differently because of this please contact our Employment Law team.
For any enquiries, please call +44 20 7228 0017 or contact our employment law law team via the form below.

Highly recommended. Took all of the strain and stress during conveyancing and explained everything clearly and concisely.
Legal 500
Family & Divorce
Over the period I found you to be professional, assured, confident and well-prepared dealing with the technical and complex. Sometimes issues were almost forensic. This was complimented by your ability to understand the personal anxiety that a client experiences as the process takes different directions and help with an empathetic approach which was much valued.

Family & Divorce
Your great patience was much appreciated, your lovely approach to people made me feel like a friend rather than a client- that makes the trauma of divorce easier to get through. Thank you again for everything.

Child Care
Despite your busy work schedule, you always made our case at the top of your priority list, you kept us calm and soothed our fears. Without your wonderful advice and your firm’s legal experience, we would not have the outcome we had. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone who needs a brilliant solicitor.

Child Abduction
I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort and meticulous attention to detail regarding my case over the past year or so. You are always prepared to go the extra mile, working long hours and your ability to recall the smallest and often most significant details amongst a wealth of facts in my highly complex case never ceases to amaze me. I appreciate all you have done and the manner in which you conducted my case and liaised with me throughout. It was very reassuring to have you on my side. I do not know what I would have done without you.
