§ 87602 Employee Classification Definitions

• •If you're hired for a short time or a special job, you're like a 'trial' worker. The boss can decide later if they want to keep you.
• •If you've worked somewhere a long time and have a steady job, you're a 'permanent' worker. It's harder for the boss to just let you go.
• •This rule helps other laws figure out if you're a trial worker or a permanent worker.

You get hired at a school to teach for just one year to fill in for another teacher.

Since you're only hired for a short time, you're a 'trial' worker. The school can decide at the end of the year if they want to keep you or not.
