What is seasonal labor?
As the name suggests, seasonal staff are someone who will do non-permanent work in the company. Normally, they only stick with the company for a short period of time, ranging from 3-5 months or maybe longer, depending on the demand and quality work.
Currently, the Labor Law stipulates that the part-time employees will be less than 12 months.
Why should you hire seasonal workers?
It is no coincidence that large companies and corporations tend to prefer this workforce. They own a lot of priority points as follows:
- Guarantee quality work
Seasonal labor is recruited to handle the work at a certain period of time and they have responsiveness and extreme adaptation. With that, they easily follow the work progress and complete within the allotted time.
On the other hand, they temporarily take on certain jobs so the company can not be worried about unexpected situations, chaos and disturbances.
- Save money
One of the significant reasons you should hire workers is to save costs. This labor group has knowledge and skill; therefore, the enterprise does not need to train. Besides, the seasonal labour also does not require compensations such as insurance, salary and bonus like official employees and thus, the company can save a budget.
In addition, the amount of wages to be paid for these workers is not too high. If compared to official employees with full-fledged, this is not a bad choice for enterprises to consider.
- Search for resources
Do not underestimate labor, some of whom may be the diamonds in the rough. Through the period of working time, you can discover many aspects of them and if they are the piece you are looking for, do not be afraid to keep it and sign a long-term cooperation.
However, besides these strengths, seasonal workers are also unrestricted.
The drawback of seasonal labor
Despite having many benefits, using labor services also creates some obstacles. As follows:
- No efficiency
No matter how excellent they are, it takes a long time to adapt and follow the job. During this time, efficiency may not be as good as you expected.
Enterprises still need to spend time on training or retraining to ensure the work progresses.
- Bore
Because of not receiving the compensation as full-time employees so few people will feel bored, especially when being under work pressure.
To avoid this situation, the company must regularly care for employees and provide constant encouragement to motivate them to efford.
