- W2175519482 abstract "Fixed-term workers and more generally temporary workers have always formed a significant part of the total workforce in Britain. In contrast to legislation and practice in other Western European countries, the position of fixed-term workers was significantly neglected in law until recently. As a result of Council Directive 1999/70/EC (the Fixed-term Work Directive) that was adopted at European level, legislation in the form of the Fixed-term Employees Regulations has applied since October 2002. The impact of the Directive was considerable with respect to changes in domestic legislation but there is still limited evidence that qualitative and quantitative changes have been achieved in practice. While it may be still early for such change, it is not clear that the Regulations comply with the Directive in all respects. 1. General overview of fixed-term work in the British labour market 1.1 Historic overview of temporary work and fixed-term workers Until recently, there was no statutory definition of a fixed-term worker nor of a fixedterm contract. This contributed to a lack of precision of the same terms in practice as well. In the literature and statistical surveys, temporary work is defined to embrace a variety of forms and is the subject of a range of classifications. The multiplicity of terms used to describe the phenomenon and the way in which they overlap makes measurement of the size of the temporary labour force difficult. Since there is no single, objective definition of temporary , attempts at measurement have had to rely upon subjective definitions provided by the workers or the employers. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is the main source of data on patterns of non standard or temporary work in Britain. The LSF defines temporary workers as including people on fixed-term contracts, agency temps, casual workers and seasonal workers. One question asks whether the job held is permanent and if not in which way it is not. In the latter case the questionnaire offers several options such as seasonal work, work done under contract for a fixed period or for a fixed task, agency temping, casual work or some other way in which the job was not permanent. But the survey results may give, in this respect, a 1 The definition of fixed-term work in the present analysis follows that provided by McCann, where it is described as embracing working relationships in which individuals are hired under contracts specified to subsist for a fixed period of time , D.
