Companies have many projects and tasks that do not require a full time employee nor the complications that are associated with their employment.

Below are just some of the reasons a company may choose to provide contract work:

• Short-term projects do not require full time employees


• Cost effective, saving money on employees requiring holidays and employer’s National Insurance


• Expert knowledge on the project matter


• Quicker recruitment process, i.e. the agency completing CV searches etc


• Training never required, only a contractor that has the right skills we be placed


• Easy to dismiss with no employment rights


• Budgeting on projects, whether long or short term can be more precise
