Companies hire contingent employees and contract employees for a specific project or pre-determined amount of time. A contingent worker does not earn a salary from the employer. Instead, they receive payment per hour worked or commissions for the work they complete.
Disadvantages of Contingent Contracts: Parties may need to seek legal advice or engage in lengthy negotiations to establish clear terms. Increased Costs: The inclusion of contingencies in contracts may result in additional costs or financial implications.
Contingent contracts, like contingencies themselves, cannot occur unless a certain condition is met. For instance, the sale of a home cannot take place without a prior home inspection, and an aircraft cannot leave the hangar without a thorough walk-around inspection by the pilot.
Quick insights. A “contingent” status means the seller has accepted an offer, but the sale is subject to certain conditions (i.e., inspections or financing). A “pending” status indicates that an offer has been accepted and the sale is further along, not yet final because of certain contingencies, such as an inspection.
