Explanation / Answer

As a person who has worked many temporary positions, if I had to look at the disadvantages of temp to perm I am not sure what I would say. I think the biggest disadvantage would have to be having to retrain a new person every time someone didn’t work out. The more time you spend training someone the less time you and that person spend doing the job they were hired to do.

There also may be a decrease in company morale. If you bring in a temp working putting in the same hours every week and the same amount of hard work as your permanent employees, but they are not getting the same benefits this could lead to problems (Schaefer, 2005).

Studies show that there are more safety issues in places where there are a lot of temporary workers hired. It is never safe to assume that a temporary worker is able to work unsupervised no matter how much training they may have (Schaefer, 2005).

The advantage is being able to work in different areas and learning as you go. I would love to be able to try a different job every other month if I knew I could feel secure that I would eventually find a permanent job at one of these places. I think my biggest worry would be getting to a place and then finding out that the job isn’t really what I want and then having to go through the whole process is. I also feel like often times when you come into an organization with a temp to perm position you are working twice as hard as the permanent people, they look at their job as if they could never lose it, where I as a temporary person look at it as I have to work hard so I can become a Permanent employee.

Temporary employees may not work as hard because they feel like well this is just a temporary position if I lose the job its no big deal. This will then cause the permanent employees to have to work harder and pick up the slack of the temporary employee. If you do a temp-to-perm you are giving the temporary person an incentive to work hard, to get that permanent position.
