There are a number of different types of hiring arrangements. Here are some examples:
Employees - An employee can either be a part-time or full-time relationship where a person is hired by a company. An employee can be paid by the hour or with a salary.
If you hire employees for the holidays or other peak times for your business, these might be classified as seasonal or temporary employees.
Independent Contractors - Independent contractors provide goods or services to a company under terms specified in a contract. Individual freelancers or businesses can be hired as independent contractors.
Interns or Apprentices - These individuals work under the direction of a master or highly skilled mentor who either teach skills necessary for licensing, or in the case of an intern, typically provide training for white collar careers.
If you have further questions about making an Employment Contract, ask a lawyer.
