"This is considered to be a dismissal, and if the employee has 2 years’ service the employer needs to show that there’s a ‘fair’ reason for not renewing the contract (eg, if they were planning to stop doing the work the contract was for).

Workers have the right:

• not to be unfairly dismissed after 2 years’ service - for employees who were in employment before 6 April 2012, it’s 1 year’s service
• to a written statement of reasons for not renewing the contract - after 1 year’s service

They may be entitled to statutory redundancy payments after 2 years’ service if the reason for non-renewal is redundancy."

There's a reason why FTCs are generally for just under 2 years

Somebody in HR has c0cked-up big time as you are now entitled to NHS redundancy for your full length of service
