TEMPORARY WORK

Work which is performed for certain periods in the year, with selfcontained contracts of employment being concluded on each occasion with the same employer or a different employer. From the point of view of annual working time, casual work and occasional work (ευκαιριακη απασχοληση and παροδικη απασχοληση), whether they involve full-time or shortened working hours, represent a form of part-time employment, but they differ from part-time work proper because the latter is performed regularly within the framework of a single contract of employment, either fixed-term or of indefinite duration.
