seasonal employment

Seasonal employment is a temporary form of employment where an organization or company hires workers on a short-term basis. An organization can hire people temporarily to meet growing labor needs, especially during seasons of peak business demand. Seasonal employment is common in businesses that experience peak periods of busyness, such as the retail industry. 

Similarly, businesses that open during set times in the year, such as ski resorts, will also contract employees on a seasonal agreement. Although this type of employment is technically part-time, some companies offer full-time positions to meet their needs, but these jobs do not provide year-round employment.
