As a noun, temp refers to a person who is employed on a temporary basis to fill a position within an organization or company. Temp workers are hired to perform duties temporarily, often as a replacement for regular employees who may be absent or on leave. They are contracted for a specific period of time or until the return of the permanent employee.
Furthermore, temp can also be an adjective, used to describe a state or condition of being temporary. This can refer to various aspects such as a temporary worker, a temporary job or project, a temporary solution, or a temporary location. The term often implies that the situation is expected to change or come to an end at some point in the future. For example, "temporarily closed" denotes that a business or facility is not open for a specific period of time.
The temporary nature of a temp position or situation makes it distinct from permanent employment or long-term commitments. The use of temp allows flexibility in various industries, accommodating fluctuations in demand or staffing requirements without the need for permanent hires.
