Answer to Question 1

Answer: Summary of suggested answer -
Types (students may mention any four) temporary employees; part-time employees; subcontracted/outsourced workers; contract workers (also called freelancers or consultants); college interns.

Descriptions
 Temporary employees work for a temporary agency that provides businesses with temporary employment. These workers are reassigned to different businesses by the temporary agency when a temporary job ends.
 Part-time employees are often employed by service businesses that have a high variance in demand between peak and off-peak times. They have fewer hours than full-time core employees.
 Subcontracted/outsourced workers work for a company and often perform routine or peripheral work for another company.
 Contract workers are employees who develop a work relationship directly with an employer for a specific piece of work or time period. They are not a part of the company's headcount.
 College interns work full-time or part-time assignments (generally for one academic semester or summer) to obtain work experience. Some interns are paid, some are not.
It is not always easy to motivate a freelancer for whom you are one of several clients, each with urgent projects and pressing deadlines. Contingent workers who do not receive frequent feedback or who are not given clear goals, may not be as motivated to perform.
