A Temporary Employment Agreement is a contract between an employee and employer that outlines the terms of a fixed-term or short-term employment arrangement. Typically, these agreements are for positions that last for less than one year and clearly define the scope, duration, and compensation of the job. With a Temporary Employment Agreement both parties understand the expectations and rights of each party, including important details like wages, work hours, overtime pay, job duties and responsibilities, sick leave, vacation time, and contractual termination rules.
