fixed-term contract
You can also say fixed-term employment contract (if there is a need to specify it). I feel that although in Finnish it ends with "suhde" (relationship), it does not flow that well if it is directly translated. I also looked it up on the Careers pages of Zurich Financial Services (www.zurich.co.uk/careers) in the UK and it has been done as "Fixed-Term Contract" on there.

Further to above: in your sentence it sounds better if it is translated as "(his) temporary employment contract was not renewed..."
My main point is the use of the word "relationship".
