It is a long time since I had any practical concerns with this issue, but some funding bodies are more flexible than others. Welcome gives project grants then leaves it up to the recipient to hire and plan. And I guess the big research institutes like the crick and lmb have similar systems. It is

Worth discussion although may be impossible to fix. My 2 cents: Standard contracts here seem to be for 1 year, but I've always worked on the assumption that the contract will be renewed unless post-doc and PI have "irreconcilable differences" or there is an unforeseen funding shortfall. Then
