The duration of the EOR employment contract depends on the contract type — indefinite-term contracts are open-ended agreements with no specified end date. On the other hand, fixed-term contracts are designed with specific start and end dates and are used when businesses want to engage contractors for project-based work.
The country of employment also influences it, as labour laws and regulations vary significantly across jurisdictions. Some countries place strict limitations on fixed-term contracts, while others may have more flexible approaches but require specific provisions for termination conditions.
Moreover, factors such as your long-term strategy in the country, the nature of the role, local market conditions, and cost considerations all play an important role in determining the duration.
