CONCLUSION OF A FIXED-TERM EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT: RIGHT OR OBLIGATION?
Bonu Rakhimberganova , Tashkent State University of Law, UzbekistanAbstract
This paper explores the legal intricacies of fixed-term employment contracts within the context of Uzbekistan’s labor laws, particularly focusing on the differences between the Labor Codes of 1995 and 2022. The study examines whether the grounds provided in the legislation for employers to conclude fixed-term contracts are rights or obligations. The analysis reveals that the 1995 Labor Code restricts employers’ rights to conclude fixed-term employment contracts under certain conditions, suggesting that in some cases, entering into a fixed-term contract is not merely a right but an obligation. The paper also discusses relevant judicial practices, including case studies, to illustrate how these legal principles are applied in practice. The findings highlight the need for clear legal guidelines to protect both employers’ and employees’ rights while ensuring compliance with labor laws.
