I agree it is a crucial detail, and I did ask the question in post 5.
The OP has failed to answer the post, but upon closer examination of the OP it seems to suggest "temporary employment" is in play as minimum (the OP was employed to substitute for the absence of a permanent employee who had been deployed elsewhere on probation).

From a statutory application point of view, I suggest this "temporary employment" is fixed term employment.
(It seems you see a difference between temporary employment and fixed term employment. Please feel free to point out what I am missing).

It may be worth pointing out that if it is (also) part time employment, then section 198C becomes relevant (too).
