Employment contracts must be renewed upon expiration in one case
The case of mandatory renewal of labor contracts when they expire is stipulated in the 2019 Labor Code.
Article 34 of the 2019 Labor Code stipulates the following cases of termination of labor contracts:
Cases of termination of labor contracts
1. Expiration of labor contract, except for cases specified in Clause 4, Article 177 of this Code.
...
Accordingly, Clause 4, Article 177 of the 2019 Labor Code stipulates that employers must extend the signed labor contract until the end of the term for employees who are members of the leadership board of the employee representative organization at the establishment who are in the term but whose labor contract expires.
Thus, in case the employee is a member of the leadership board of the employee representative organization at the establishment and is in a term when the labor contract expires, the employer is required to extend the labor contract until the end of the term for that employee.
