If you’ve ever wondered what alternatives there are to permanent work, you’ve probably considered temping or contracting and you may have questioned how they differ.
In fact, temping and contracting are very different types of employment, each with their own pros and cons. Both offer flexibility and the ability to work in a variety of workplaces and both generally require you to be immediately available, as temporary and contract roles are usually for urgent requirements.
To help you make an informed decision about what might suit you best, we’ve outlined the key differences between the two:
Contractors are not eligible for holiday pay, sick pay or any other payments that an employer would make for permanent employees.
The decision about whether or not an opportunity is temporary or contract is made by the employer but if you have a preference you should always ask. We have a number of temporary and contract opportunities available and are always happy to discuss your options with you.
