definition seasonal employee
A seasonal employee is one who works only during a specific time period during the year for an employer.For example, many workers in the agriculture industry are seasonal, assisting the employer only for certain periods, such as planting or harvest.Under PPACA, a seasonal employee is any employee who works one hundred twenty (120) days a year or less for the employer. These days need not be consecutive.Thus, if an employee works only for the months of January, July, and October, then the employee is a seasonal employee.easonal employees are not considered full-time employees under PPACA. Since only full-time employees affect the employer mandates to which applicable large employers are subject, seasonal employees do not affect the employer mandates.
