Fixed term employment falls within exception clause of S.2 (OO) of the I.D. Act, 1947 and hence, is not called retrenchment and hence, employer is not liable to pay compensation.
If in the name of fixed term appointment, the employer gives appointments from year to year on fixed term, for a number of years, retrenchment compensation has to be paid.
