Prepare questions about duration and notice.

The idea

Ask whether the contract has a fixed end and how much notice each party must give.

Examples

  • ¿Cuánto dura el contrato?How long does the contract last?
  • ¿Es un contrato temporal o indefinido?Is it a fixed-term or an indefinite contract?
  • ¿En qué fecha termina el contrato temporal?On what date does the fixed-term contract end?
  • ¿Cuál es el plazo de preaviso?What is the notice period?
  • ¿El preaviso se aplica a ambas partes?Does the notice period apply to both parties?
  • ¿Podría aclararlo antes de que firme?Could you clarify that before I sign?

Watch out

A fixed term and a notice period answer different questions; ask about both.
