Answer 1

Answer:

Contingent workers

Explanation:

Contingent workers are people hired to do a specific assignment in an organization. They consist of independent workers, freelancers, consultants, out-sourced employees, and other non-permanent workers who are hired on per job basis. Contingent workers are not considered employees of the organization.

Contingent workers are usually highly skilled, unlike most of the temporary workers. They are hired to work on specific tasks in their areas of specialization. Contingent workers exit a company after their task is completed. They may be re-hired by the same company or any other institution. For example, a tax consultant may be contacted to do tax calculations in a company. Once the assignment is over, they get paid and leave the organization.
