Types of Employees

by Gary Crawshaw on November 6, 2009

In my job as a consultant at Silkin Management Group I often get asked by my clients about the advantages and disadvantages of different classifications of employees. And, during these tough economic times where some businesses are letting people go and some are just hiring part time, knowing these different classifications is important to anyone who is looking at hiring someone new.

Hiring the right people is a key activity that we help our Silkin clients with. We have many proven successful actions on recruiting, screening and hiring. Knowing how to do this properly is a very important management tool to have as it cuts down on employee turnover and increases efficiency in any office.

I ran across the following article Ready to hire? You have many employee options which I thought was a great summation and clarification of the three key types of personnel you can have: regular full time staff, part time staff and independent contractors. Each has its own rules and regulations, advantages and disadvantages. This article provides valuable information to anyone interested (whether you are a Silkin Management Group client or not) in the relevant differences between these personnel classifications I hope you find it helpful and useful.

If you’d like help with any employee situation, especially how to hire the right people, feel free to contact us!

We hire part time people because it is the best solution for our company now.
