S.L. 452.81 Art. 4Principle of non- discrimination.

Employees on a contract of service for a fixed term shall not be treated in a less favourable manner than comparable permanent employees solely because they have a contract of service for a fixed term:

Provided that an employer may differentiate between the conditions of employment of an employee on a fixed term contract and a comparable employee on a contract of service for an indefinite time, if:

(a) the difference arises in view of the recognition of length of service, experience, qualifications or conditions of pay and work attached to the contract of service immediately preceding the contract of service for a fixed term, and such other differences as are justified on objective grounds; or

(b) the task for which the employee has been employed is specific or has a top management nature and includes objective considerations which justify such differentiation.
