What are seasonal workers?
A seasonal worker is the term for an employee who is hired on a temporary basis to meet a company's increased demand for labor during specific periods of the year. These periods often vary according to the seasons and can be related to specific industries.
For example, agriculture often experiences an increased need for labor during the harvest season, while retailers may need extra help during the Christmas shopping season. The role of the seasonal worker is crucial to ensure the business can manage these periodic fluctuations in demand effectively and maintain production or a high standard of service during a peak season.

Christmas trees
There is a high demand for labor to care for, cut and pack Christmas trees.
Nurseries
Nurseries often need seasonal workers to help with planting, pruning and packing plants.
Machine stations

Seasonal workers in other industries
Car repair shops
During peak seasons, auto repair shops and tire centers experience an increased demand for services such as tire changes, air conditioning service and general workshop services. To meet this demand, and to ensure continued high quality and customer satisfaction, hiring seasonal workers is a great option. The extra hands help relieve the permanent staff, ensure an efficient workflow and contribute to a positive customer experience.
Retail
The retail industry experiences significant increases in customer traffic during the holiday season, requiring extra staff to handle the increased demand. During Christmas shopping and sales, many stores experience a significant increase in customer traffic, often requiring extra staff in both sales and warehouse. During the summer holiday period, when many permanent employees are on vacation, can also create a temporary need for extra workers during the summer.
