Workers engaged on a non-permanent basis including contractors and freelancers.
A contingent workforce comprises workers who are engaged on a non-permanent basis — including independent contractors, freelancers, consultants, temporary workers (agency staff), and gig workers. Organizations increasingly use contingent workers to access specialist skills, manage variable workload, and control labour costs. Managing a contingent workforce presents distinct HR challenges around compliance, worker classification, IR35 (UK), benefits entitlement, and integration with permanent staff. HR software tracks contingent worker data alongside permanent employees.
