Temporary Employee

A temporary employee, often referred to as a temp, is an individual hired by a company for a limited time to meet short-term needs, such as covering for staff absences, seasonal workload increases, or specific projects. They typically work through staffing agencies or directly for the employer. Temporary employees may receive different benefits compared to permanent staff and usually have job roles that can range from administrative tasks to technical positions. Their employment is generally marked by flexibility, allowing companies to adapt quickly to changing demands.
