An agreement or an extended branch agreement may set the maximum number of renewals possible for a fixed-term employment contract. This number may neither have the purpose nor the effect of permanently filling a job linked to the normal and permanent activity of the company.
The conditions for renewal are stipulated in the contract or are the subject of an amendment submitted to the employee before the term initially provided for.
These provisions do not apply to fixed-term employment contracts concluded in application ofarticle L. 1242-3.
