This thesis contains the analysis and comparison of fixed-term employment contracts in the law of Lithuania and foreign countries - namely Republic of Poland and Russian Federation - from a legal point of view. Regarding the fact that the percentage of fixed-term employment contracts in European Union is rising, but the regulations of these job contracts in member states is quite diverse and differs even more from the non-member states, the selection of these two countries serves as an illiustration of the difference of regulations of fixed-term employment contracts not only inside the European Union, but Russian Federation as well. By comparing legal sources of the chosen countries, one tries to give in-depth analysis of the topic. Thesis consists of three main parts. The first one contains the analysis of fixed-term employment contracts as a type of employment contract. It gives the concepts and types of employment contracts in selected countries, and introduces the sorts of fixed-term employment contracts. The second part contains the analysis of formation and execution of fixed-term employment contract. Reffering to the fact, that the will of contract parties is not enough to form a fixed-term employment contract, it also studies the preconditions, paying special attention to objective circumstances and their necessity for forming the contract. By analysing the longest term of employment contract and ways to set it, this part also facilitates the analysis of problems of setting terms. Finally, a short overview of fixed-term employment contract execution, which is not very different from execution of other employment contracts, is given. The third part studies the termination of fixed-term employment contract. First of all, it gives the consequences of term expiration, then shortly describes the basis for discontinuing the employment contract before the period has ended, stressing that this method of terminating the contract is not common for solely fixed-term contract. |
