seasonal worker
Peak-time hire
A seasonal worker is someone employed only during particular times of year when labor demand peaks.
Agricultural workers harvest crops in summer and fall; retail workers staff stores during holiday shopping season; ski instructors work winters.
The arrangement suits industries with predictable cycles and workers who prefer intermittent employment.
The farm relies on seasonal workers to pick strawberries each June.
