Workers on Contract Lawyers in Edmonton, AB
Employed workers on contract in Edmonton 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.

It is a common misconception that employees receive severance whereas those who are characterized as contractors don’t.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
Independent contractor agreements are becoming increasingly common, especially in an economy as dynamic as Alberta’s.
