Are You a Seasonal Worker?

The hiring process isn’t always clear and straightforward. Even major corporations can make the process cloudy to the point where new hires aren’t sure what type of employment status they hold or how long they can expect to be in the workforce. For this reason, many people are seasonal or temporary workers but don’t realize it at first.

Industries that hire seasonal workers tend to include:

• Retail stores
• Amusement parks
• Delivery companies
• Food service companies

More specifically, employers usually increase their workforces around the winter holiday season because Americans spend money more during that time of year than any other. The next biggest season for seasonal workers is the summer, especially for amusement parks and any employer related to entertainment.

You might be a seasonal worker and not realize it. However, as mentioned, your status as a seasonal worker should not be used to bar you from getting workers’ compensation. California law requires any employer with at least one employee to carry workers’ compensation insurance for eligible workers, including seasonal workers.

Workers’ Comp for Temp Agency Hires

A temp agency or temporary employment agency helps workers find short-term or temporary employment at different companies. Did you find work through a temp agency in Oakland and then get injured in that temporary employment role? If you aren’t disqualified from getting workers’ compensation for other reasons, then you shouldn’t be disqualified just for being a temporary worker hired through a temp agency, either. To put it simply, workers in California who are hired through a temp agency are still eligible for workers’ compensation coverage.

What Does Workers’ Comp Get You as a Temporary Hire?

Worker’s compensation benefits are meant to help you recover from a work-related accident or injury without damaging your own finances. The types of benefits available usually do not change due to the injured worker’s specific type of employment. If you are a seasonal worker or were hired through a temp agency, you should still be able to seek the same workers’ comp benefits as if you were a full-time worker.

We can help you seek the workers’ compensation benefits owed to you, which may include:

• Coverage of all related medical costs
• Wage replacement/disability pay
• Vocational retraining benefits
• Death benefits (if you lost a loved one in a work-related accident)
