Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Portuguese term or phrase:
emprego público por tempo determinável
English translation:
public employment for a determinable period
Portuguese term
emprego público por tempo determinável
"Trabalhadores que exerçam cargos em comissão de serviço na XXX ou que sejam sujeitos de outras relações jurídicas de emprego público por tempo indeterminado, determinado ou **determinável**;"
So we have permanent contracts (por tempo indeterminado), fixed term contracts (por tempo determinado) and a bizarre category of contracts "por tempo determinável".
I can't even conceive what this might mean in practice (a fixable contract? how come?), let alone what it might be called. Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas?

PERS replied that there was no limit on the amount of earnings in temporary public employment, "the important fact being that this employment must definitely be termed temporary employment and as such does not require that the person re-enroll in the Public Employees' Retirement System

Temporary public employment programs are whole lot better for the unemployed than just rolling over unemployment benefits.
