Describe each category of worker (full- and part-time employees, independent contractors, temporary employees, interns, students, volunteers, and partners).

Full time employees are those that that work a minimum amount of time in hours as specified by their identified employer. They usually earn a fixed salary every month or hourly. Part time types of employees are types of employees who work fewer hours than full time associated employees. They possess a more flexible type of schedule. They are not given any employee benefit. Temporary employees are considered to be types of employees who are usually employed only for a specific time. They can be categorized as part time or as full-time types of employees (Bobo & Casillas, 2016). They are generally are not considered eligible to attain employees associated benefits. Most of the temporary employees are usually hired via temporary employment agencies and work on a probationary associated period.

Independent types of contractors offer goods as well as services to an organizing under various terms that are specified in a certain contract or even verbal agreement like an independent contractor associated agreement. They can be identified as individual persons as well as companies or even corporations (Fishman et al., 2017). They usually lack control over their identified schedule and are usually expected to perform tasks as along as when required. Interns are types of employees who work under the keen guidance of higher-level types of employees. Interns are usually trained for identified white-collar as well as professional careers. They are usually college students and can in some occasions they can be high school students or even postgraduates. A volunteer is identified as an individual who carries out tasks without expecting any type of payment from such work. A partner is identified as a type of employee that works in a limited or unlimited partnership (Wilkinson & Deeg, 2014). This classification of employees is essential in helping employers to adhere to the employment associated laws. In the case that an employee has been involved in misclassification of employees, a court offers penalties and fines to such an employer for violations.

Include an analysis of the pros and cons of each type of worker, from an employer’s perspective.

There are a variety of pros as well as cons that are associated with each category of employees. Independent contractors are essential since the level or oversight regarding such employees to employers is low (Fishman et al., 2017). Nonetheless, the identified legal along with financial responsibility is considered to be low. Therefore, there is no need to make payment of payroll taxes. The cons entail the employer not having any kind of control over the tasks and they work on a short-term basis thus hard to attain brand loyalty. Temporary employees are essential since with them it is easy to adapt to the fluctuating workload as well as can lead to new talents for the company in the future. Moreover, an employer access specialized skill and it saves the employer money. A disadvantage regarding temporary employees is that there is loss of longevity as well as cost cutting usually leads to low morale (Wilkinson & Deeg, 2014).

Full time employees enhance higher flexibility in an organization as well as offer cost-effective solution. A disadvantage is that they may cause inconsistencies in work and differences in an organization may lead to resentment. Part time employees lead to expansion in the pool of candidates and on the other hand can lead to inconveniences as they offer seasonal support. On the interns’ side, they may possess current as well as fresh perspective in an organization that is vital for enhancing growth and development in the business; however, they may not possess the necessary tact that is needed in handling a business situation. This is the same for volunteers. Partners are essential in diversification of risks however there may be conflict of ideas among the partners leading to business losses (Delpo & Guerin, 2015). Employers need to understand these pros as well as cons so as to identify the most suitable employee for their business cases. It also helps an employee to come up with ways of mitigating the cons associated with a certain employee.

Select and describe a type of business. Describe the ideal proportion of workers and include a supporting rationale.

Independent contractors are types of employees that work for themselves and are usually hired out by businesses for specific tasks. Independent types of contractors offer goods as well as services to an organizing under various terms that are specified in a certain contract or even verbal agreement like an independent contractor associated agreement (Fishman et al., 2017). An example of business type that utilizes independent contractors is a hotel business that lies under the white-collar jobs. Hotel businesses can use independent contractors for various tasks that are considered to be short term. Hotel business uses independent contractors on aspects such as maintenance tasks in an attempt to fill the needs of the workforce. Hotel businesses need to carry out regular maintenance associated tasks in order to operate effectively, however it would be a waste of money to use full time employees under the maintenance sector since maintenance does not occur on a daily basis but periodically. Independent contractors are utilized in such a business in undertaking functions that is not directly associated to the production regarding the core products as well as services regarding a company.

Independent contractors are also useful in these cases in a hotel business since they help the business in attaining a specific skill or even technical associated knowledge for a particular project which is expected to be for a short time. Nonetheless, they are suitable in such a case as they fill the gap in the business with the necessary experience as well as they are well trained on a given task thus reducing inefficiencies and expenses to the business such as hiring unnecessary full time associated employees (Fishman et al., 2017). Another type of employee that a hotel can have is full time employees who can be the chefs and waiters. Full time employees are those who work on longer hours in an organization. The hotel can also have interns as its employees. Interns are students and are usually in an organization as part of their learning. Another type of employee that the hotel can have is volunteers who work without expecting any pay and do it for charity and not money making (Delpo & Guerin, 2015).
