Once we leave the EU we will no longer be bound by EU law but will be able to raise employment standards where it is right for the UK. The EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ensures that the rights and protections that workers in the UK currently enjoy will be retained when the UK leaves the EU. This applies to all workers, including fixed-term workers.
