Refers to employment that is not classified as traditional employment, such as full- or part-time jobs. This can include:

  • Contingent workers who are hired for specific jobs or tasks but are not considered employees of the company. These workers may not have the same worker rights and protections as traditional employees.
  • Individuals who are not employed at all, which is distinct from unemployment.
