Fixed-term Employment Contract: Maximum Number of Renewals

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Hợp đồng lao động có thời hạn được ký tối đa mấy lần?

Hello Editorial Board,My employment contract expires in July this year. This is the second time I have signed a fixed-term employment contract with the company. Therefore, after this contract expires, can I sign another fixed-term employment contract? If not, what should I do?

Pursuant to Clause 2, Article 22 of the 2012 Labor Code regarding the types of labor contracts as follows:

...

In case both parties enter into a new fixed-term labor contract, it is also allowed to sign only one more time, after which, if the employee continues to work, an indefinite-term labor contract must be signed.

Thus, in your case, having entered into a fixed-term labor contract with the company twice, upon the expiration of this contract, an indefinite-term labor contract must be signed.

Sincerely!
