This is from the Oxford English dictionary as to what copyright means;
**• noun the exclusive legal right, given to the originator or their assignee for a fixed number of years, to publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same.
I am not sure what unit of 1 means, as copyright of intellectual property does not seem to have been an issue, but rather the length of tea breaks, and what the contract of an individual provisions for. As to the firing, and rehiring mentioned earlier, I'm pretty sure that if that happens after a year of employment, you are allowed to take action for unfair dismissal, irrespective of the length of current contract. This has to be continual employment though!
