Summary

3.1183

  • A temporary worker is a person employed (or engaged) to do a specific job of work for a specified period of days, weeks or months. (See 3.1185 Overview)
  • Whether a temporary worker is an 'employee' (ie employed under a contract of employment) or a worker engaged under a contract sui generis (of its own kind) will depend in large part on the existence or otherwise of 'mutuality of obligation'.
