FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF THE LEGAL REGULATION OF FIXED-TERM LABOUR CONTRACTS

In order to effectively ensure the main objective of the Labour Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is necessary to expand the right of employers, who are one of the parties to an labour contract, to conclude fixed-term labour contracts. According to the current procedure, an employer can hire employees on a fixed-term basis only in cases specified in the Labour Code. According to it, the employer may conclude a fixed-term labour contract at his own discretion in ten cases, and by agreement with the employee (by mutual consent of the parties) in eight cases. However, in legal practice, employers are forced to hire employees on a fixed-term basis even in situations not specified in the Labour Code.
