Interim and fixed-term contracts: What exactly are we talking about?
Before getting to the heart of the matter, let's lay the groundwork. Both contracts have one obvious thing in common: they meet a need temporary. However, the process And the statute who frame them are very different.
The CDD (Fixed-Term Contract)
The CDD is a contract concluded directly between a employer And a salaried. The company Wage directly the person. It is used for a specific and temporary task (replacement of a employee illness, increased activity, etc.). He has a timeframe limited and a terme defined from the start (or a minimum duration if there is no specific term).
Interim (or temporary work)

Switching from interim to fixed-term contract: good or bad idea?
This is a very common situation in the building: I am on an interim basis, I am offered a fixed-term contract on the same construction site. What to do?
Is it legal?
Yes, absolutely. The company where you are doing your temporary work has the full right to offer you a hiring on a fixed-term contract (or better, on a permanent contract!) at the end of your mission.
What you need to know:
- The trial period: The duration of your interim assignment must be deducted from the trial period of your new fixed-term contract (if it is for the same position). It is a upright !
- Your benefits (IFM): Attention, crucial point. If the company hires you on a permanent contract immediately after your temporary assignment, you lose your IFM (End of Mission Allowance). On the other hand, If the company hires you on a fixed-term contract at the end of your mission, you keep your IFM for temporary work!
- Renewal: The law imposes a waiting period between the end of your temporary employment contract and the start of a fixed-term contract on same Post, except in very cases precise (replacement of an absent employee, new emergency, etc.).
The advice of the Asap team: Weigh the pros and cons. A fixed-term contract can be a great consolidation step, but make sure that the salary proposal is equivalent to or greater than what you earned overall as a temporary worker!
Combining the two: Mission Impossible?
You are ambitious, you have energy to spare and you ask yourself: Can I combine a fixed-term contract during the week and do temporary assignments at the weekend?
The answer is YES, it is entirely possible to combine several contracts, but be careful, there are very strict rules to respect.
Limits imposed by law
For benefit Of the two statuses, you must not exceed the duration utmost employment law:
- No more than 10 hours per day.
- No more than 48 hours per week (or 44 hours on average over 12 weeks).
- You must respect a daily rest of 11 consecutive hours and a weekly rest of 35 consecutive hours.
The duty of loyalty
If you already work on a fixed-term contract for a construction company, you cannot do temporary work at the weekend for one of its direct competitors, for the sake of loyalty.
Cumulating can be a great strategy to increase your income quickly, but be sure to stay healthy. Construction is a demanding sector, and fatigue is the first enemy of safety on a construction site!
In summary: What is your camp?
Whether you opt for a fixed-term contract or a temporary contract, the important thing is to find the contract that corresponds to your moment of life and your goals.
