What You Need to Know About Hiring Seasonal Employees
Labor Laws Apply to Seasonal Employees
Required Benefits For Seasonal Employees
Whether an employee is seasonal, part-time or full-time, you must provide specific benefits required by law. Employers must withhold the appropriate amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes from employee wages. Although unemployment benefits vary depending on the state, typically employers are still obligated for temporary and seasonal employees. However, there are select exceptions because of the nature of the positions and apply to those employed ten weeks or less.
Independent Contractors Vs. Seasonal Employees
Independent contractors are especially useful during the holiday season. It is important to note that independent contractors are not employed by you, only hired by you. This can be a major benefit to your company; because they are primarily self-employed, you are not required to provide benefit, withhold tax or pay unemployment taxes. While you can not dictate the hour’s independent contractors work, you are required to report compensation of $600 or more.
