I think the most employers use the generic form text that ends "...and other work given by the management". "Specific tasks" would be as in a defined "project", say the "unit testing" would be such.

If a worker is unhappy and speaks to the management,the reason for unhappiness is the work,work place,work environment.
Therefore when a worker signs a contract,they sign it because they are happy with the proposed work within the proposed timeframe.
If a worker becomes unhappy the timeframe is secondary to the work.
Primarily its the work , secondary is the timeframe.

So if you go to the management and say you never agreed to the stress and lack of recognition its the primary reason for a mutual re-draw of the contract.

Go and pay a lawyer for the same info.

Nonsense, as I already explained to you the completion of the agreed work you quoted does not apply here at all since a fixed period is specified in the contract.
You dont adhere to any contract if the basis of work is not what you expected.
What you expected is irrelevant - what you accepted in writing is what matters.

My contract says
The main duties of the employee are ...

The employer is entitled to require the employee to perform other corresponding work.
And the OP wrote that the problems with his work are due to high stress, lack of recognition, negative work environment, etc. - not that the tasks he was gives are outside the scope of his employment contract.

What you claim is basically that I could sign a 4 year fixed-term contract, and when I get a better paid job offered elsewhere I just tell my manager I never agreed to the stress and lack of recognition and then I can break the employment contract without penalty.

As usual, you write only nonsense...

Yep , how else is the mass of broken fixed term contract renegotiated.
I have signed so many fixed term contracts as an employer.
If someone is unhappy we break it, if someone doesnt want to work anymore we mutually break it.
I never agreed to the stress and lack of recognition
As usual wunder-baum sees things skin deep.
A worker coming to me with these things is a clear warning=The worker never agreed to what they are receiving.
then I can break the employment contract without penalty.
Ive always said for the worker to go to the top management and spill the beans.

Most likely its a pay increase for your stress, or the warning bells sound in the managements ears and they offer you a way out.

The last time i forced an unhappy worker to work through the contract , was the last time i will force an unhappy worker to work through the contract.

Europeans are such retards.

After my several post deleted by Adrian and trying to shut me down by issuing me a temp ban, I had to reach out for Neil (our beloved admin). He has unbanned me and took action that this kind of moderatoring cannot happen again. This is a classy example of the great leadership! :thumbsup:

To the OP, kindly let us know the outcome of your case. I think we all are pretty interested to hear it. Good luck! :wink:

Wunder-baums are always too strong at first, over-powering, but like every wunder-baum , the prediction is guaranteed.
They just hang around and look bad.

Has the OP tried to negotiate, asked if her employer would be ready to let her go?
