Since the employment protection legislation inquiry En modern arbetsrätt was published, thedebate on employment protection has gained momentum. The inquiry has had to resistcriticism, among other things for not strengthening the balance between employers andemployees. A general review of the research used in the inquiry shows that sociologicalresearch has been used to a relatively small extent, in favor of research of a more economicnature. This entails a risk that valuable sociological aspects linked to employment may havebeen overlooked or underestimated. With the study, we intend to highlight the sociologicalaspect of the issue of temporary employment and employment protection to broaden thediscussion. In our study, we examine the research that the inquiry is based on regarding thesociological part of temporary employment and compare it with a literature review weproduce about temporary employment. This study shows that the sociological aspect of theEPL inquiry is underemphasized and that there are other studies that highlight valuablesociological points that are not included in the inquiry. In the comparison between theinquiry's research and our literature review, it is in particular the employee perspective andthe connection between temporary employment and health that differ where our sourceshighlight these aspects in a significantly clearer way. / Sedan utredningen En modern arbetsrätt publicerades har debatten om anställningsskydd tagit fart. Utredningen har fått motstå kritik, bland annat för att inte stärka balansen mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. En översiktlig genomgång av den forskning som använts i utredningen visar att sociologisk forskning använts i relativt liten utsträckning, till förmån för forskning av mer ekonomisk karaktär, såsom nationalekonomisk forskning. Detta innebär en risk för att värdefulla sociologiska aspekter kopplat till anställningar kan ha förbisetts eller underskattats. Med studien avser vi att lyfta den sociologiska aspekten i frågan om visstidsanställningar och anställningsskydd för att bredda diskussionen. I vår studie undersöker vi forskningen som utredningen utgått från gällande den sociologiska delen om visstidsanställningar och jämför med en litteraturöversikt vi tar fram. Denna studie visar att den sociologiska aspekten i las-utredningen är underbetonad och att det finns andra studier som lyfter värdefulla sociologiska poänger som inte finns med i utredningen. I jämförelsen mellan utredningens forskning och vår litteraturöversikt är det i synnerhet arbetstagarperspektivet och kopplingen mellan visstidsanställningar och hälsa som skiljer sig där våra källor lyfter dessa aspekter på ett klart tydligare sätt.

Magister Legum - LLM / This research aims to explore the available legislative protection afforded to atypical employment, with specific reference to fixed-term workers. Atypical, employed workers, such as fixed-term workers, are often exploited as they do not always enjoy the same rights as typical employees. Hence, they are in a precarious position with regard to employee benefits and rights. Common law provides for the automatic termination of a fixed-term contract of employment on a specific date, typically either as stipulated in the contract or upon completion of a project or task. The Constitution of South Africa, however, provides for the right to fair labour practices for everyone. In 2014 section 186(1)(b) of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) was amended, while section 198B was added as a completely new section. Together these sections are aimed at providing increased protection to fixed-term workers.

The Swedish regulation concerning fixed-term contract has been a topic for discussion during the last decade. It has been criticised for not following the council’s directive 1999/70/EG on the measures to prevent the abuse of fixed-term contracts. Since 2016 the regulation has changed. It has changed in order to have the legislation within the purpose and measures set in the fixed-term directive. This essay aims to clarify whether the new Swedish legislation is in accordance with the framework agreement attached to the directive on fixed-term contracts. This will be done by analysing the measures established in the framework agreement and the purpose of the directive, then compare the result with the Swedish legislation. This part of the essay will be written using the legal dogmatic methodology. Since fixed-term contracts are more common among young people this essay will focus on how fixed-term contract, and regulations on fixed-term contracts, will affect the position of young people in the labour market. It is obvious that there are some difficulties to harmonize a legislation that suits all the social partners on the labour market. In fact, it can almost be impossible. By illuminate the political discussion regarding the use of fixed-term contracts it will help to understand why this matter is so complex and how it can be a stepping stone or a dead-end job. This will be done with a legal policy method.

Visstidsanställda inom bemanningsbranschen har en utsatt position på arbetsmarknaden på grund av att de riskerar att med kort varsel förlora sin anställning. Bemanningsbranschen är väletablerad i Sverige och många arbetare har någon gång haft en relation till ett bemanningsföretag genom att själva arbeta via dem, eller via vänner eller kollegor med erfarenhet av det. I studien undersöks frågan kring hur bemanningsanställda med visstidskontrakt upplever sin anställningstrygghet. Genom att undersöka bemanningsanställdas upplevda oro för framtiden, närvarande ledarskap, sysselsättningstrygghet, inkomsttrygghet och flexibilitet ger studien en bild av hur bemanningsanställda mår i sin anställning. Studien bygger på intervjuer med åtta bemanningsanställda som är visstidsanställda. Studiens resultat visade att visstidsanställdas livssituation och kontakt med sin chef på bemanningsföretaget har en stor betydelse för den upplevda anställningstryggheten. Dessutom upplevde de anställda att otryggheten kring anställningen bidrog till en viss oro inför framtiden. Studien kan bidra till en ökad förståelse för de faktorer som har betydelse för bemanningsanställdas upplevelse av sin anställningstrygghet. / Fixed-term employees in the staffing industry have a vulnerable position in the labour market, due to the risk of losing their employment with a short notice. The temporary agency industry is well established in Sweden and many workers have at some point had a relationship with a temporary agency company by working with them themselves or through friends or colleagues with experience of it. The study examines the question of how temporary agency employees with fixed-term contracts experience their job security. By examining temporary employees' perceived concerns about the future, present leadership, occupational security, financial security and flexibility, the study provides a picture of how temporary employees feel in their employment. The study is based on interviews with eight temporary agency employees with fixed-term contracts. The results of the study showed that the life situation of fixed-term employees and contact with their manager at the temporary agency company were of great importance for the perceived job security. In addition, the employees felt that the insecurity concerning their employment contributed to uncertainty concerning the future. The study can contribute to an increased understanding of the factors that are important for temporary agency workers experience of their job security.

I dagens samhälle finns det ett antal arbetstagare som har anställning på begränsad tid. Denna uppsats utreder regleringarna kring visstidsanställningar samt vilket förhållande som finns mellan visstidsanställningar och samhället. Fokus i detta arbete är att undersöka hur visstidsanställningar regleras och hur dessa inverkar på individer i Sverige. För att få full förståelse behandlar uppsatsen vidare EU:s syn på Sveriges reglering av visstidsanställda. Samhällets utveckling behandlas kort för att nå en djupare kännedom om behovet av visstidsanställningar i Sverige. I anslutning till samhällsutvecklingen undersöks konsekvenser för arbetstagare och arbetsgivare vid tillämpning av visstidsanställningar. Slutligen kartläggs fördelningen av visstidsanställningar bland grupper av individer i samhället. Underlaget för denna uppsats baseras främst på berörda lagrum, förarbeten, rättsfall och doktrin. Materialet kompletteras med statistik på antalet visstidsanställningar i samhället samt fördelning av visstidsanställningar i samhället.I uppsatsen har det framkommit att det är enkelt för arbetsgivare att anställa en arbetstagare på begränsad tid. Uppsatsen belyser att det finns två typer av visstidsanställningar där den ena är mer fördelaktig än den andra för anställda. Av uppsatsen framgår det att främst kvinnor har den mindre fördelaktiga visstidsanställningen, som inte är frivilligt vald. Män är något överrepresenterade vad gäller den mer fördelaktiga visstidsanställningen, som är frivilligt vald och har positiv inverkan på löneutvecklingen. En slutsats från detta resonemang är att många visstidsanställda kvinnor missgynnas. För att uppnå jämställdhet på den svenska arbetsmarknaden borde kvinnor och män vara lika representerade även i de mindre fördelaktiga visstidsanställningarna. / In today’s society there are a number of employees who are hired for a limited time. This paper investigates the regulations regarding fixed-term employment and the relationship between this type of employments and the society. To focus on this work regulation regarding fixed-term employments must be investigated and also how these affect the individuals in Sweden. To gain a full understanding the paper also deals with how other countries within EU relate to how Sweden handles the regulation of the fixed-term employments. The development of the society is shortly treated to reach a deeper understanding about the needs of temporary employments in Sweden. In connection with the development of the society, the consequences are investigated how the application of fixed-term employments will affect the employees and the employers. Finally, the distributions of temporary employments among groups of individuals in the society are mapped. The foundation of this paper is mainly based on the relevant section of law, preparation work, legal cases and doctrines. The material will be completed with statistics on the number of fixed-term employments and the distribution of these in the society.The paper shows that it is easy for employers to hire an employee for a limited time. The paper also shows that there are two types of fixed-term employments for employees, where one is more favorable than the other. It is mostly women who have less favorable fixed-term employments, and most of these jobs are not freely chosen. Men are slightly over-represented in terms of more favorable fixed-term employments which are often freely chosen and have a positive impact on the wages. The conclusion of this reasoning is that many temporary employed women are mistreated. In order to achieve equality on the Swedish labor market, both women and men should be equally represented even in the less favorable fixed-term employments.

Thesis (LLM. (Labour Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2012 / In Joseph v University of Limpopo & Others (JA14/09) [2011] ZALC 8 (13 May 2011) the Labour Appeal Court affirmed that there was unfairness in the process adopted by the employer in failing to renew the employee’s fixed term contract. This research paper examines the Labour Appeal Court’s reasoning in this case, with particular focus on the development of an implied term that each party to an employment contract owes the other a mutual duty of trust and confidence, and general reasonable behaviour. This paper further argues that mutual trust and confidence in the employment context protects the legitimate expectations of employees by serving as a bulwark against illegitimate conduct or acts of on the part of the employer designed or likely calculated to destroy the employer-employee relationship, thereby ensuring fuller protection of an employee’s constitutional rights. Joseph v University of Limpopo & others is of great significance. It indicates that the employer’s ability to rely successfully upon its prerogative not to renew fixed term contract where an employee has legitimate expectation of renewal may be contingent on its having acted in a manner consonant with mutual trust and confidence.

Neste contexto, a partir da década de 1990, a escola vivencia uma profunda reorganização quando um conjunto de reformas educacionais de viés gerencialista, impulsionado pela influência dos organismos multilaterais alterou suas práticas e condições de trabalho. No Brasil, essas reformas resultaram na prevalência da cultura do controle, da regulação e da demonstração de resultados da educação, fato que incidiu diretamente no processo de intensificação do trabalho docente, instaurando uma nova concepção acerca da escola e do papel de seus agentes sociais mais diretos, estudantes e professores. Os docentes viram-se diante de inúmeras alterações em seu processo cotidiano de trabalho sendo obrigados, cada vez mais, a desempenhar papeis que se distanciam da perspectiva didático-pedagógica da profissão. Além de modificações na realização do trabalho, alguns estados como São Paulo, passaram a flexibilizar sua forma de contratação, criando em seu sistema público de ensino contratos de trabalho temporários sem direitos assegurados. A presente pesquisa busca refletir sobre a prática de contratação por tempo determinado realizada na rede estadual paulista e sua relação com as condições de trabalho dos professores não efetivos (categoria O) contratos à partir da Lei Complementar N° 1.093/2009. Para tanto, optou-se pela realização de uma pesquisa empírica de natureza qualitativa complementada por levantamento bibliográfico documental. A técnica de coleta de dados adotada foi a entrevista semiestruturada com professores da categoria O representantes das áreas do conhecimento propostas na atual matriz curricular do Estado de São Paulo. As especificidades inerentes a essa forma de contratação evidenciam um contexto de fragilização da categoria docente explicitando que essa forma de contrato realizada pela rede estadual paulista contribui para a precarização das relações de trabalho na escola, com jornadas de trabalho extensas, desvalorização social da profissão, insegurança e instabilidade. / The end of the twentieth century, with the advent of neoliberalism, the acceleration of productive time and the flexibility of the labor market triggered profound changes in contemporary social organization. In this context, from the 1990s, the school experiences a major reorganization when a set of educational reforms of managerial bias, driven by the influence of multilateral organizations changed their practices and working conditions. In Brazil, these reforms have resulted in the prevalence of control culture, regulation and income statement of education, the fact that focused directly on the intensification of teaching process, establishing a new conception of the school and the role of their social agents more direct, students and teachers. The teachers were faced numerous changes in their daily work process being forced, increasingly, to play roles that differ from the didactic and pedagogical perspective of the profession. In addition to changes in the performance of the work, some states such as São Paulo, started to ease their way of hiring, creating in its public school system temporary employment contracts without guaranteed rights. This research seeks to reflect on fixed-term hiring practice held in São Paulo state network and its relationship to the working conditions of non-tenured teachers (category) contracts from the Complementary Law No. 1,093 / 2009. Therefore, it was decided to carry out an empirical research of qualitative complemented by documentary literature. The adopted data collection technique was the semi-structured interviews with Grade Teachers The representatives of the areas of knowledge proposed in the current curriculum of the State of São Paulo. The specificities of this form of employment show a context of weakening of the teaching category explaining that this form of contract held by the state public network contributes to the precariousness of labor relations at school, with long working hours, social devaluation of the profession, insecurity and instability.

The current South African legislative framework does not properly address the unequal bargaining position between employers and fixed term employees. Ineffective regulation of fixed term employment in South Africa has had the effect of excluding certain groups of fixed term employees from claiming the remedies provided in terms of the Labour Relations Act and other labour legislation. Furthermore, where remedies are applicable to them they are often ineffectual. Interpretational variation evident from case law pertaining to the enforcement of the rights of fixed term employees, indicate clear lacunae in the unfair dismissal protection afforded to these vulnerable employees. This is mainly a consequence of uncertainties related to the interpretation of the legislative provisions. The infusion of the values entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the development of the common law to reflect these values might augment the scope and availability of rights enjoyed by fixed term employees. But, changing socio-economic and political circumstances necessitates review and amendment of the legislation applicable to fixed term employees to meet the country’s constitutional and international obligations. Proposed amendments to the Labour Relations Act have been tabled. These amendments may be capable of addressing some of the current problems. However, they may also lead to other undesirable consequences. An investigation into problems related to the application of similar provisions as those proposed by the Labour Relations Amendment Bill in other jurisdictions crystallises some possible causes for concern. Some of the proposed changes could create new vulnerabilities, or renew old ones. / Private Law / LLD

Conclusion and termination of fixed-term work agreements has influence on legal status of employees, work quality, efficiency of undertaking’s activity as well as provides parties with opportunities to individualize operating conditions and implement reasonable objectives, increases employment. In addition to common labour law norms, according to peculiarities of employment relations there are also rights and guaranties determined by special legal norms applied to fixed-term work agreements. With reference to summarized experience of national legal regulation in Lithuania and other foreign countries, European Union labour law acts, judicial practice and research work results of other authors this work deals with legal employment relationship existing between employer and employee in the process of conclusion and termination of a fixed-term work agreement and paying the main attention to their particularities in the whole of similar relations. It analyzes the machinery of given legal relations’ regulation. There is a conception of a fixed-term work agreement presented. It determines the parties of this legal relation and the content of a fixed-term agreement settled by them. Fixed-term employment meets labour market requirements in upsurge of flexible work organization forms. One of these forms is also a fixed-term work agreement.
