❖ Regular Employment - A worker is considered a regular employee when they have been working for

an employer for at least one year, regardless of whether that relationship was continuous or not. In
regular employment, the employee is engaged in work that is usually necessary and desirable to the
usual business of the employer.

❖ Project Employment - Employees who are assigned a specific project or task with a set end date are
considered project employees. They have security of tenure until the project is complete.

❖ Seasonal Employment - Seasonal employment is temporary work that lasts for a season, such as
agricultural work. Seasonal work can be considered regular employment, as regular seasonal
employees whose work ends may be hired again later in the year.

❖ Fixed-Term Employment - In fixed-term employment contracts, there is a fixed period of time for an
employee to complete a task or project.

❖ Probationary Employment - Sometimes, an employer may decide to hire an employee for a kind of
probationary period known as probationary employment. During this period, the employer
determines whether the probationary employee qualifies for regular employment. Before hiring an
employee under this agreement, the employer must define the reasonable standards under which
the employee will qualify as a regular employee. If the standards aren't clear, then the employee will
be considered a regular employee under labor code.

❖ Legitimate Job Contracting - involves a trilateral relationship involving the principal, the contractor

and/or direction of the principal in all matters connected with the performance of the work except

of the contractor or subcontractor under the labor laws.

❖ Labor-Only Contracting - refers to an arrangement where the contractor, who does not have
substantial capital or investment in the form of tools, equipment, machineries, work premises, among
others, supplies workers to an employer and the workers recruited are performing activities which
are directly related to the principal business of such employer.
