As a temporary worker for a large corporation, is their employer required to give them a temporary termination date?
My wife has been working for a large corporation for almost 6 months as a temporary worker. The company refused to tell her how long the job would lest when she interviewed. New Link Destination
this day human resources will not tell her when her temporary status ends or when she will be let go. I want to note that she was not hired by a staffing agency, but by the corporation itself into a role with a “temporary status”.

No: the law does not require employers (or staffing agencies, for that matter) to tell temporary employees how long their employment will last or when it will end. No heads up, advance warning, etc. is required, though an employer is allowed to provide this information if it chooses.
