TOPICS:

AUTHOR: Lynda Macdonald


Policy wording: It is this Company's policy that, although jobs are normally offered to staff on a permanent basis, there will from time to time be a need to recruit temporary staff. Such a need may arise when:

  • there is a need for extra members of staff to work for a limited duration on a one-off task or project;
  • extra members of staff are needed to cover seasonal peaks (so as to avoid the need for permanent staff to work excessive overtime);
  • extra members of staff are needed on a temporary basis to cope with a surge in demand or in order to meet a client deadline;
  • extra members of staff are needed to cover the absence of permanent staff, for example with regard to holiday, sickness absence or maternity leave;
  • there is a need to prevent or eliminate an excessive backlog of work.
