The full forms of CDD and CDI are French terms referring to types of employment contracts.
Here's the breakdown:
-
CDD: Contrat de travail à durée déterminée, which translates to Fixed-Term Contract. This type of contract has a specified end date.
-
CDI: Contrat de travail à durée indéterminée, which translates to Permanent Contract or Open-Ended Contract. This type of contract does not have a specified end date.
In essence, these terms differentiate between temporary and permanent employment agreements. CDD provides employment for a set period, while CDI offers indefinite employment.
