Contingent workforce definition
What is a contingent workforce?
A contingent workforce is a labour pool whose members are hired by an organisation on an on-demand basis. A contingent workforce consists of agency workers, freelancers, independent contractors and consultants who are not on the company’s payroll because they are not permanent employees of the organisation. Organisations can hire a contingent worker directly or from a staffing agency. Such workers are usually added on an ad-hoc basis to a company’s workforce and work either onsite or remotely.

Permanent workforce definition
What is a permanent workforce?
Permanent employees, regular employees or the directly employed, work for an employer and are paid directly by that employer. Permanent (regular) employees do not have a predetermined end date to employment. In addition to their wages, they often receive benefits like subsidised health care, paid vacations, holidays, sick time, or contributions to a retirement plan. Permanent employees are often eligible to switch job positions within their companies. Even when employment is “at will”, permanent employees of large companies are generally protected from abrupt job termination by severance policies, like advance notice in case of layoffs, or formal discipline procedures. They may be eligible to join a union and may enjoy both social and financial benefits of their employment.
