Preferred term

contract work  

Definition(s)

  • Contract workers are employed through formal arrangements, but with tenuous, often short-term connections to one or more employing organizations. Contract work typically involves one of two work arrangements: a two-way agreement between a contractor and employer, often called a client, or a three-way agreement involving a staffing agency or contracting company operating as market intermediary.
