What is a flexible or permanent contract?

Questioner

I have a contract: every week I work on Monday at 3:15 am; on Wednesday at 7:45 am; on Thursday at 7:45 am. Do I have a flexible or a permanent contract? In other words, can my employer change my hours as he sees fit, including Flexen?

The term permanent contract is used to indicate that an employment contract lasts for an indefinite period. In addition, there are temporary contracts. Both permanent and temporary contracts can have a flexible component. For example, the number of hours to be worked per day. There are also fixed zero-hour contracts. In general, parties must comply with the contractual agreements when it comes to working on days, hours and starting times. In this regard, also pay attention to a possible clause on a 'reasonable assignment' that is included in some collective labor agreements or employment conditions regulations. Such a clause gives the employer a little more freedom to deviate from contractual agreements. In this case, the interests of the employee must always be taken into account.
