Workers on Contract Lawyers in Calgary, AB
Employed workers on contract in Calgary are those who are brought in for a short period of time to work on a specific project. This is done when a company requires niche expertise that they do not have internally, and instead of hiring someone full-time, they bring in someone who already has the skills required.
DEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
It is a common misconception that employees receive severance whereas those who are characterized as contractors don’t.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
