Word choice: acquire in [acquire seniority]

I have made up the sentence below.

(1) We can offer you a three-month contract at a time because you are a new employee. As you acquire more seniority, we will sign longer term contracts with you.

Is "acquire" the right word? Thank you very much.

Yes. Where I live, a person who works on a contract basis is not normally considered to be an employee. This means, for example, that he will not receive the benefits of an employee, eg sick pay, eg pension.
