A type of fixed-term employment where an employee agrees that the period of work will finish at the end of the season.
These types of employees are typically hired to fulfil a demand for work that is only available during a fixed season and once the season is over the employer no longer has a need for the workers. Some examples of seasonal work are picking fruit in the summer, or working at a ski resort during the snow season.
It is common for seasonal workers to be rehired for many years long after their initial stint.
