On the other hand, a disadvantage is that there could be a clash between temporary and permanent employees. The permanent employees may think that the temp is trying to take his/her job or that the person is trying to take the position of a friend. Temporary workers can also create legal problems. For instance, as mentioned in the textbook, if an organization classified a worker as an independent worker and then exerts a significant amount of control then the organization can be judged as guilty of misclassifying a worker as an outside contractor. Furthermore, the government “can penalize the organization for not withholding employment taxes on the worker and not paying for required benefits such as Social Security and worker’s compensation” (149). Temporary workers don’t receive benefits such as health insurance, paid leave or retirement benefits, which is a downside for the workers. This could also cause problems between permanent and temporary
