What is an internship?

Internships Under the Fair Labor Standards Act:
An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical
application and skills development in a professional setting.

What is a temporary employee?

Temporary employees are contracted workers who perform a job for only a short amount of time. A temp can be hired directly by a company or work for a staffing agency that sends them out on temporary jobs.
In some cases, companies
use temporary employment as a trial position that could eventually turn into a full-time role. Temp workers can also use the job to find out more about a business before committing to being a full-time employee.

What is an independent contractor?

A person who contracts to do work for an employer to complete a particular piece of work according to her/his/their own processes and
methods. The contractor is not subject to their employer's control except for what is specified in a mutually binding agreement for a specific job. The status of independent contractor carries with it considerable tax ramifications. For example, an employee shares the costs of Social Security and Medicare taxes with his or her employer whereas an independent contractor is responsible for the entire
amounts. Also, independent contractors must pay estimated taxes each quarter, whereas employees generally have taxes withheld from their paychecks by their employer.

What is a seasonal employee?

Seasonal employment is temporary work to meet an organization’s temporary needs during certain times of the year. This might include:
1. Businesses that are only open during part of each year, such as ski resorts
2. Businesses that need extra workers during peak periods, as many retailers do during the holiday shopping season
