An indefinite-term contract is one that is signed without establishing time limits for the provision of services, in terms of the duration of the contract. An indefinite-term work contract may be verbal or written and may be entered into on a full-time or part-time basis or for the rendering of discontinuous fixed services.

Indefinite-term contracts may in some cases be beneficiaries of hiring incentives when the requirements of the applicable regulations are met in each case, depending on the characteristics of the company, the employee and, if applicable, the working day.

This contract is ruled by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2015, of October 23, which approves the revised text of the Workers Statute Law.
