Generally refers to workers who are informally employed in the workplace and are usually paid by the daily wage. Unlike regular workers, they can enjoy the protection of pension and monthly minimum wage. Temporary workers are divided into two categories: contract workers and human dispatch workers. The purpose of hiring temporary workers is to cope with short-term extra work, such as hiring temporary workers as substitutes because long-term workers are on maternity leave.

After the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, there is no legal distinction between temporary workers and regular workers, only the length of the contract. The employing unit must sign a labor contract with the laborer and cannot refuse to sign it on the grounds of temporary posts.

If it is a temporary post, it can be different in the duration of the labor contract, such as choosing to sign a "labor contract or part-time employment contract with employees for the duration of completing a certain task".

However, there are still a large number of temporary workers in real life, mainly migrant workers, who are widely distributed in low-end labor markets such as construction, catering, cleaning and nursing. Their income is low, social security is not perfect, and some have labor contracts but exist in name only.
