If anyone can give me advice on the following, I would be very grateful: You have a permanent position but the person in that position is on a fixed term contract, is it legal to inform that person that the contract will not be extended for them and will be readvertised? And are you legally obliged to give them a reason? When advertising a position is there a conflict of interest if the temp you get to fill the vacancy while recruitment is in progress is in fact an applicant for the position? Please help

Dear All, Conflict of interest means: An employee cannot use their purchasing power to contract or purchase services, products or equipment from a firm that is owned by their friend or relative without prior consent from MD or authorized person. Employee cannot accept gifts or goods or services or bribe that falls outside of normal business practices and were received with the intent of influencing, the purchase of goods or services from the supplier... If any query...:p Regards, Pradnya
Hi Effie It can be legally allowed provided the current employee in the post has been strictly issued a fixed term contract. But it is good practice to let him/her know why their contract is not being extended. Looks like the term "conflict of interest" is misused here unless you are trying to say that the current employee has been involved in practices that are in direct conflict of (the company's) interests and the duties he/she is carrying out hence they cannot continue in their role any further than the agreed period. If this is the case then he/she should be aware that even if they apply for the next phase of the recruitment they are likely not to be shortlisted. This practice is quite dangerous in countries like UK & US where the temp have legal rights, worth checking them if such rights exist in India. Happy to help you further. HR Practitioner.
