Contingent Work

What is Contingent Work?

Contingent Work refers to a non-permanent or temporary status of work. Part-time, intern, temporary, seasonal, freelance, and contract work are usually classified as contingent work.

What are the benefits of Employee Onboarding with Contingent Workers?

If you're in the market to pick up a few contingent workers, make sure you're on top of the employee onboarding process. Employee onboarding is just as important with contingent work as it is with your full-time employees or salary employees. Proper employee onboarding makes it easier for new employees to jump in, feel like part of the team, and be engaged right off the bat!
