Consequences of the early termination of a renewed limited contract

Dear all,

I completed an initial 2-year limited contract which ended in January. Now we will sign a new contract, likely also limited.

If I did not continue my employment (i.e. renew), I think I would be entitled to 42 days of EOSB plus one month of annual leave not taken.

If I sign a new limited contract with one-month notice period but leave before the end of that contract's term (and before completing 5 years of service), do I lose that accrued EOSB even though I completed the first contract?

Plus would I be liable to pay a 3-month penalty?

Dear Questioner,

If you would like to resign, you can do that freely but you will be obliged to compensate your employer with 45 days salary.

Moreover, you have to be informed that your time period of work with this company started the first day that you joined them.

Good luck.
