Using Temporary Workers
With the flexible labour market growing, and more and more people choosing temporary work, bringing in the skills you need when you need them can help maximise business efficiency.
Temporary workers are often considered when the commitment of another permanent member of staff cannot be justified. They can also cover absences such as sickness, holiday and maternity. The flexibility of temporary staff resources allows you to react quickly to changes in business fortune - additional orders or shortfalls. If your business has seasonal fluctuations, using temporary staff can be an extremely cost-effective way of balancing the people and the workload.
A temporary worker is generally defined as one supplied by an agency on an adhoc basis, usually without a defined period of employment. A contract worker, on the other hand, is generally on a fixed term assignment, often employed directly by the client.
