What is

Temporary contract

A temporary contract is an agreement between an employer and employee that outlines the duties and expectations of the employee during their temporary employment. This type of contract is often used for employees who are filling in for another employee who is on leave, or for employees who are only needed for a short period of time.

Temporary contract

explained

A temporary contract is an agreement between an employer and an employee that outlines the terms of the employee's temporary employment. This type of contract is also known as a "fixed-term contract" or a "temporary employment contract."

The main difference between a temporary contract and a standard employment contract is the length of the agreement. A temporary contract is typically for a shorter period of time than a standard employment contract. The length of a temporary contract can vary, but is typically for a period of one year or less.

A temporary contract can be used in a variety of situations. For example, an employer may use a temporary contract when they are hiring for a new position and they want to try out the employee before committing to a long-term employment contract. Or, an employer may use a temporary contract when they need to fill a short-term position that is only needed for a specific project or task.
