How do I get hired as contractor?
2 ways.
1. Direct Contract (DC)
2. Agency Contract (AC)
For DC, im not sure if they still hired people using DC anymore, basically your 1 leg is permanent, 1 leg still in contact. the pay is basic salary + 10% of basic salary + 10% of the 1 month bonus, pro-rated to 12 month. the benefit is similar to perm, except dental, optical, loans etc. the AL is 14 days instead 24 days for perm. What else.. oh, 2 years in contact before convert to perm, this is new policy i heard. some team, based on their manager, can convert fast if you do good. for bonus, no bonus for DC, but got ex-gratia, more like they give you 500-2k, depends on the job level. no need for P3 ( performance, pay, potential).
for Agency contract, basically they pay higher. but not sure how is the structure. the AL is 12 days if im not mistaken, depends on the company. Few agencies that i known provide job to AC is Encore, Gemini ( forgot the right name). No bonus. etc.
