The Definite Term Employment Contract is a specialized employment agreement used in Germany when organizations need to establish temporary employment relationships for specific periods or projects. This document is essential for companies operating under German law who need to hire employees for a fixed duration, whether for project-based work, seasonal employment, temporary replacements, or other legitimate business reasons as required by the TzBfG.
