Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the number of hours worked by temporary employees over the course of the reporting period.
-
Organizations should capture hours worked by contracted (or subcontracted) employees as part of this metric, whether their contracts are written or oral; in any case, temporary employment is characterized by a predefined term: fixed-term contracts, project- or task-based contracts, and seasonal, intermittent, or casual work.
-
Organizations are encouraged to report this metric in conjunction with Temporary Employees (OI9028).
