No. There are no federal laws defining how long an employee can be considered \u201ctemporary.\u201d The time frame can vary based on an organization\u2019s budget considerations and business needs. For example, an organization may only need to hire employees for an increase in sales over the holiday season or to cover the position of an employee on leave. Even then, the employee on leave may need to shorten or extend their leave time, or the holiday \u201crush\u201d may start or end earlier than the organization projected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
