Question

      [1] Nearly four out of five employers, in establishments of all sizes and in all industries, use some form of nontraditional staffing. [2]] Among the most common reasons they cite are to accommodate workload fluctuations and to fill positions that are temporarily open due to permanent employees' short-term absences. [3] Some people view this large and growing workforce as one employer relegate to second-class employment—with no worker benefits, little or no mutual loyalty, and all risk borne by the employee—while employers benefit from lower costs. [4] Others see the nontraditional workforce as an opportunity for workers to achieve a flexible work schedule, reach a better balance between work and other interests, gain new experiences, or bridge periods of traditional employment.
