Permanent employment for gold appraiser

A temporary job canot give you a vested right to permanent employment. Sorry.

I hope you do have a written contract governing the terms of your employment? Frankly, that's the best you should look for, from a temporaray position, to bring some sense of security in your job.

You are not an employee as bank never paid you any salary.  You are eligible for a fee depending on valuation of each jewel for such appraisal.  Whether you are staying out of your will and pleasure or bank has given such written instruction it is not clear.

When you are a retainer for fees, you are not entitled for any job, as each job is prescribed with such qualifications minimum.  Contact the Union for more guidance.

Same query has been posted in "Experts" club today itself.
