Gig Contract: What Is It, Features, and Differences

A gig contract is a form of employment relationship based on short-term and flexible agreements between workers (gig workers) and organizations to perform specific tasks or projects.

Features of Gig Contracts:

• Flexibility and short-term nature, allowing organizations to engage workers for specific tasks as needed.
• Short deadlines for completing tasks or objectives necessary for achieving a specific goal.
• Execution of specific tasks or projects, rather than permanent employment.
• The ability to engage experts in specific fields to achieve greater efficiency.
• The opportunity for companies to outsource certain functions or tasks, reducing costs of permanent employees.

Differences from traditional employment relationships:

• Gig contracts can involve workers working in other countries, opening up new opportunities for global cooperation.
• Workers operating under such conditions can perform tasks on demand only.
• Gig contracts may not include common packages of social benefits typical of traditional employment.
• Gig workers have the freedom to choose tasks that interest them or in which they specialize.

Advantages of Using Gig Contracts Compared to Sole Proprietorship Agreements

The formation and targeted use of gig contracts have numerous advantages compared to sole proprietorship agreements:

• Flexibility and risk reduction: Gig contracts allow companies to adapt easily to changes and quickly allocate resources for specific tasks without long-term commitments, reducing risks in case of task changes.
• Resource Efficiency: Gig contracts enable the use of the workforce only when needed. This can be more efficient than sole proprietorship agreements where costs may remain constant even when work is temporarily unnecessary.
• Project Scalability: Workers are engaged for specific projects, allowing companies to scale their work based on the volume of tasks without overburdening staff.
• Expert Involvement: Gig contracts allow the engagement of highly qualified specialists for specific tasks, which may be challenging to achieve with sole proprietorship agreements.
• International Reach: Such employment relationships open the possibility to engage workers from different countries, providing a wider talent pool and global opportunities.
• Time and Resource Savings: Searching, concluding, and terminating gig contracts are less time-consuming and less complex compared to hiring or changing sole proprietors.
