    **第一項**  雇用の期間が満了した後労働者が引き続きその労働に従事する場合において、使用者がこれを知りながら異議を述べないときは、従前の雇用と同一の条件で更に雇用をしたものと推定する。この場合において、各当事者は、第六百二十七条の規定により解約の申入れをすることができる。
    <sup>art-629/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-code/art-629/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/129AC0000000089/art-629/par-1</sup>
    If an employee continues to engage in that employee's work after the expiration of a term of employment and the employer knows of this and raises no objection, it is presumed that the further employment is entered into under conditions identical to those of the previous employment. In these cases, each party may give a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 627.
