Companies are even asking their employment agencies to look for this kind of interim workers as it helps them to perform better and as well minimize expenses. On this Shergill said, "I have people on my team who are more comfortable working in a freelance arrangement than working permanent. Expertise and experience, at the end of the day, needs to be applied to achieve specific outcomes and not just be seen through the time spent in the office."

Many are concerned about the reason behind this sort of employment alteration in the country. For them, Santrupt Misra, director, group HR, Aditya Birla Group clarifies, "Today, the nature of employment relation has changed driven by the choices available to both the employees and the employers. Many people, unlike in the past, are not seeking security of employment because the market provides so much of opportunity to be unattached and be on their own. Employers find this model attractive as they see cost flexibility given the volatility of the markets. This is a phenomenon that's growing."
 

So what is the minimum and maximum number of projects one can handle at the same point of time?

"One may face a situation where in an employee may be with three enterprises. Assignments will attract people. You may have situations where employees would say, 'I want assignments, not a job or a title'", Ashutosh Telang, chief HR officer of Marico said.

These kind of workers are also called consultants' or 'independent contractors'.

Though it might seem that the revenue scope of these individuals is far more than regular employees, but it’s exactly opposite. Certain rewards that only full time employment guarantees like leave, holidays, allowances, bonus, overtime, social security cannot be a part of the pay plan of these interim officials.

Hence, if you plan to go about multiple companies at the same time, be cautious about the ultimate consequences.
