Answer 1

Answer:  

contingent workers

                                   

Explanation:

Contingent employees or workers can be described as freelancers, specialists, or any other subcontracted, temporary workers hired on a project-based basis.  These are not just temporary workers, though — this ignores the heavy-value essence and uncertainty of the transient employment of nowadays. Contingent staff in their professions are highly qualified professionals.

Under a Description of Employment (SOW) clause, these people are employed to perform specific tasks. Once the task comes to an end, they quit, although when new project happens, they may be asked to return. As just that, these are not just a firm's staff and also the business person is not responsible for providing ongoing work on a full-time basis.
