temporary employee

A temporary employee is someone hired to fulfill a job role for a fixed, limited period of time. This type of employment is often used to cover regular employees’ short-term absences, meet seasonal employment demands, handle project-specific tasks, or manage increased workloads without committing to permanent employment.

Temporary employees can be hired directly by a company or through a staffing agency, which is a common practice for quickly filling gaps in the workforce without the lengthy process of traditional hiring.
