One generally sees a high volume of contingent workers in the retail/wholesale/distribution industry as they gear up for holiday seasons and such. In my company, the Auto Parts retail stores business, our season begins in April with the warmer weather and generally slows down in November and December when families stop driving on vacations. Our sales pick up during that period so we staff our stores with what we call "Variable Service Part-Timers" which is nothing more than a contingent worker. Please share your experiences with contingent workers and how they are compensated.
