31In an administration with a large workforce like the Land, it is inevitable that temporary replacements will frequently be necessary due to, inter alia, the unavailability of employees on sick, maternity, parental or other leave. The temporary replacement of employees in those circumstances may constitute an objective reason under clause 5(1)(a) of the FTW Framework Agreement, justifying fixed-term contracts being concluded with the replacement staff and the renewal of those contracts as the need arises, subject to compliance with the relevant requirements laid down in the FTW Framework Agreement.
