Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for Ms. Tanyaporn Fapimai’s work visa application received on 05 July 2016.
We note that she is only being offered employment for a period of 2 years which is a fixed term offer of employment. The Employment Relations Act 2000 allows employers to offer fixed term agreements if there are genuine reasons based on reasonable grounds to offer a fixed term. The reason for the fixed term should be explained at the start of employment and put in the written agreement. The employment agreement must set out how the employment will end and why the employment is for a fixed term. For example, a job may be for a certain period of time (e.g. for six months to cover a person who is on maternity leave) or until something happens (e.g. when the project ends) or until work is completed (e.g. until the fruit is picked). Employees on fixed term employment have the same rights as other employees, except that their jobs will finish at the end of the fixed term. The limited nature of the duration of each work visa issued is not in and of itself a reason for a fixed term contract.
In case that Beauty & Grace Ltd would like to revise the contract to be a permanent agreement, you can send the revised employment agreement which is signed by both parties via this email.
