The different types of employment contracts in Armenia are as follows:

• Indefinite-term employment contract: The employment relationship under this form of the contract remains in effect until terminated by either party. The employee is afforded greater job security under such a contract, and the company is often obliged to compensate them in the event of termination, either through notice or severance.
• Fixed-term employment contract: A fixed-term employment contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee in which the employee is hired for a set amount of time. A fixed-term contract, or limited-term contract, is an employment arrangement with a specified beginning and ending date. A business has three options after a contract has run its course: renew, expand, or terminate.

2. Temporary employment contract

A temporary employment contract in Armenia is a fixed-term employment contract for a finite period to complete a single, limited assignment. These contracts are meant to fill temporary positions with a set end date. The contract will end immediately if the job is finished or the need for employees is met.

This agreement details the conditions of the work’s publication or distribution and the compensation the author will receive.
