    From experience this is probably a budget / headcount issue.

    We have a couple ongoing here whereby clientco would like a permie but don't yet have headcount and budget confirmed so they get them in fixed term paid for by a project.

    The intention is for whoever gets the role to go perm, however, as others have said, if they don't get headcount approval then the incumbent will be shown the door, or in your case, you.

      Looks like it so not a contract as we know it at all then. There are rights to these. Have a search through the threads in the search below. You will find a link to HMRC about your rights in FT contracts....

        They used the argument that i did not have experience in the industry but I believe they can cover that with the probationary period on a permie contract, right?? I dont think a the lack of experience justifies an FTC, rather, probably HR or headcount approval issues in view of not planned workload after 6 months...
