Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: You start with a one-year engagement. The company may extend it by another year after appraisal if it still needs your services; the overall limit is two years.

• Performance reviews: Reviews take place every six months. A poor rating leads to a written improvement period, with termination possible if performance remains poor.
• Leave: Paid leave is proportionate to the contract period. Unused leave cannot be carried forward or exchanged for payment.
• Workplace provisions: Company holidays and protective equipment follow company rules. Housing depends on availability, and the contract does not include all benefits available to regular workers.
• Ending the contract: Either side may give one month of notice, with payment instead of notice governed by the notification.
