We have given an employment contract for one year, and now we want to extend the same for the next year. We would like to seek your expert advice. Would it be recommendable to extend it for one year or should we go for 11 months? I request your help on this matter. What are the pros and cons of each option?
Thank you.

Do you know that any contract, simply put, is illegal and considered non-legal when enforced on employees for the organization's benefit? Contracts are deemed null, void, and invalid due to the infringements on violating laws.
Legal Standpoint on Contracts
From a legal standpoint, a contract is invalid if it is acquired under coercion or duress. Even if the employee willingly signed it, any physical or other harm caused might pose an archetypal threat to an organization. The fact is, trying to be practical and realistic by extending a one-year contract or an ascertain contract with 11 months would definitely not ensure the safety of any employer (which might raise incongruity) for both the employee's and employer's future.
Alternative Clauses to Consider
Instead, you may consider including clauses such as Non-disclosure, Misrepresentation, Confidentiality, etc. This would lead to employees working happily rather than feeling abstracted and depleted.
Note: A contract is meant to be a safeguard against illegitimacy.
