Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me out on my query.
I have been a temp at one company for almost 8 months. I did not go through an agency like a contractor, so I am paid direct from the company.
The problem is I get no benefits which full time employees receive, like holiday pay, health care, pension. But to add insult to injury, I don't earn more (like a contractor might) to off set not having these benefits.
Is there a time limit where they have to offer me a permanent position? I read somewhere that it's 2 years. I also read that they can end your contract after (example) 23 months, then hire you to re-start the 2 year clock.
I am glad to have a job, but for every day I have this setup, I lose out.
