Definition: Workers in seasonal employment

Category: ILO terminology

Workers in seasonal employment are workers who hold explicit or implicit contracts of employment where the timing and duration of the contract is significantly influenced by seasonal factors such as the climatic cycle, public holidays and/or agricultural harvests. These workers may be classified as "employees" or "own-account workers" according to the specific characteristics of the employment contract. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/coded_files/icse_1993_en.pdf
