What are the benefits of hiring contract workers instead of permanent hires?
“The main benefit of hiring a contract worker is the flexibility you enjoy as an employer. This is important in case the economic rebound is not as strong as hoped. 80% of employers who choose to hire contract workers are motivated not by cost, but by the flexibility it provides. Although they may have to pay higher rates upfront, it is offset by their savings on CPF, annual leave and bonus payments. Overall, it simplifies the administration procedures, which results in fewer headaches for employers.”
