Question

If employers want to select experienced employees for a project, bring them on board without the need to provide training or benefits, and let them go with no drama when the project is completed, then they should look for ________ employees.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is contingent.

Explanation:

Contingent employment is a short-term or on-call job that does not require the creation of a long-term contract between employer and worker. There are many different types of contingent employment, such as seasonal work, project-based jobs, and guard positions. Although contingent employment can be economically and practically useful for employers and workers, some economic experts believe that it can also be used to cover a multitude of legal and moral offenses. The most important distinction between the employment quota and traditional employment is the creation of a short-term contract. In a traditional job, workers are normally hired with no end date in mind, although both employer and employee retain the right to terminate the agreement at any time. In a contingent job, the contract generally specifies a period of employment, which can be a project end date or the inflection of a season. Some contingent employees may be hired as permanent staff at the end of their short-term contract, at which point they usually sign a new contract as a full-time worker.
