Are you thinking about hiring an employee? First, you should hash out details about the job. Think about things like how many hours you’ll need the employee to work and what kind of commitment you’re willing to make. Familiarize yourself with different types of employment to pick the right job status.
Depending on your business and its needs, you might not always need to hire a full-time employee. Read on to learn about six types of employment.
6种工作类型
雇主在其业务中使用了许多类型的就业。通常，不同类型的就业状况被以下分解：
- Number of hours per week
- 全职和兼职员工
- Length of employment
- 季节性员工，临时员工和实习生
- 承诺
- At-will employees
那么，您的业务需要哪种类型的就业状况？
Full time
Full-time employees work more hours than part-time employees. Generally, full-time employees receive benefits, like health insurance, while part-time employees may not.
The definition of a full-time employee depends on who you ask. For many employers, full-time employment means a 40-hour or more workweek.
However, the Affordable Care Act defines full-time employees as those who work an average ofat least 30 hours per week。另一方面，Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS) characterizes full-time employees as those who work more than 34 hours per week.
那么，这些全职工作的不同定义对您意味着什么？您的专职员工工作的小时数量有所余地。
If you need more hands on deck, you might consider bringing on a full-time employee.
兼职
Part-time employees work fewer hours than a business’s full-time employees. As a result, they may not be eligible for certain benefits (e.g., health insurance).
Again, part-time employment varies by business and agency. You might have some part-time employees who work 15 hours a week and others who work 25 hours.
您可以考虑雇用兼职员工来容纳工人的个人时间表或填补不需要全职工作的职位。
Seasonal
Seasonal employeesare workers who work for a business during certain times of the year. Generally, seasonal positions are temporarily available (e.g., during the summer months).
Seasonal employees can be one of two things:
- Those who work for a business that’s only open at certain times throughout the year
- 那些在忙碌时期只为企业工作的人
如果您的业务在一年中的某些地方关闭，或者您的业务有高峰季节，则可能选择雇用季节性员工。
Seasonal employees might be full-time or part-time workers, depending on your business’s needs. Again, seasonal only applies to the length of time the employee works during a year, not the number of hours worked.
暂时的
暂时的employees(“temps”) work temporarily to fill in gaps in a workforce. Temporary employment generally doesn’t last past a certain time period, although some employers extend full-time offers to temporary employees.
You may decide to hire temporary workers if an employee takes a leave of absence. Or, you might hire a temporary worker to see if they’re a good fit for your business.
If you are interested in hiring temporary workers, you might opt to go through a temporary staffing agency. Or, you can hire them yourself and add them to your business’s payroll for a set period of time.
像季节性就业一样，临时员工可以是全职或兼职。
Internship
Another type of employment you may offer is an internship. Internships are programs where students or other trainees work for a period of time at a business, generally to gain experience or skills.
Unlike the other types of employment, internships aren’t always paid. In some cases, an intern works without pay at a business to receive college credit or even just experience. However, you must meet theDepartment of Labor’s unpaid internship standardsto be legally compliant.
Interns might work part time or full time. Again, interns generally only work for a designated period of time, unless you extend a full-time offer when their program is over.
At will
At-will employees are workers who are not obligated to continue working at a business—they can leave at any time. And, a business is not obligated to continue employing an at-will employee—they can let them go at any time (for a legal reason).
大多数员工,无论other types of employment status (e.g., full time) are at will.
