Tímabundinni

Tímabundinni is an Icelandic term that translates to "temporarily" or "for a limited time." It is often used in legal, contractual, or employment contexts to indicate that an arrangement or situation is not permanent and will cease at a specified point or upon the occurrence of a certain event. For example, a contract might be described as tímabundinni if it has a fixed expiry date. Similarly, an employment position can be tímabundinni if it is for a project or a specific period.

The use of tímabundinni signifies a clear understanding between parties that the agreement or situation has a defined end. This contrasts with permanent arrangements, which have no predetermined termination date. In labor law, tímabundinni employment often comes with specific regulations regarding renewal and the rights of the employee compared to permanent staff. The term emphasizes the transient nature of the subject it modifies, ensuring clarity and avoiding assumptions about longevity.
