Anglų kalbos pamokėlė nr. 21 TEMPORARY WORK

TEXT
Temporary work is when an employer takes on workers for a short time to meet a sudden rush of work. Employees will be given a short-term contract for their work. For employers, temporary workers provide more flexibility; when demand for their product or service falls, they can quickly reduce their wage bill. However, sometimes temporary workers lack the skills or motivation that they need. Recent European legislation also gives temporary staff who have worked for a period of time in one organisation similar rights to holidays, equal pay,etc. as full-time employees.
