But before getting caught up in the details of how your organization could use and benefit from contingent workers, it's important to ensure you fully understand what this term means and what the process of employing contingent staff involves.

In this blog post, we'll take a detailed look at the definition of a contingent worker, how they're distinguishable from permanent employees, and steps you can take to optimize the management of this portion of your workforce.

The Society for Human Resource Management defines contingent workers as people brought in to do jobs that are 'short term or temporary, including workers from temporary employment agencies, on-call workers, independent contractors and seasonal workers'.

According to Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the term 'contingent working' can be used to describe employment arrangements that differ from permanent, direct wage and salary-based work. SIA notes that one of the key points of differentiation between contingent workers and regular employees is that the former usually have an 'explicitly defined or limited tenure'.

The term 'contingent worker' is often used as a catch-all description encompassing various employment models, including:

These workers make up a considerable proportion of the wider labor force in many countries and play a crucial role in how many organizations function.

A SIA report published in August 2021 showed there were 51.5 million contingent workers in the US in 2020, which meant they accounted for more than a third (35%) of the country's total workforce. These workers also generated US$1.3 trillion (€1.1 trillion) in revenue.

According to Eurostat data, temporary employees made up nearly 11% of the total workforce across the EU's 27 countries in 2020. The proportion was higher than average in nations such as Spain (20.1%), Portugal (15%), Croatia (13%) and Sweden (12.1%).

The clearest difference between a contingent worker and a regular employee relates to time. Someone you employ on a contingent basis will only be with your organization for a limited period and for a specific purpose, such as to fill gaps in your workforce or provide project-specific capabilities.

Traditional employees are hired on a permanent basis and receive contracts that outline their legal rights, such as:
