Can you give me advice on Continuous Employment?

Answered 22 Mar 2008 by d.head

We employ educational tutors on short 15 week contracts, which at times get renewed for a further 15 week term.

Is there any risk of us running in to problems should we continue to continuously employ the same person on short term contracts?

Is there a risk of them expecting the same benefits as are available to full time members of staff?

Many thanks in advance for your advice.
