Abstract: We understand that atypical employment can be sustained if it provides benefits for both the employer and the employee, but these benefits, in most cases, have only an indirect effect on profit. This study examines whether workers with fixed-term employment could be more effective regarding certain performance indicators than their co-workers with indefinite employment contracts. Results show that in one of the two examined performance indicators (number of clients served), individuals working in an atypical form of employment are more efficient for almost all variables, while for the second performance indicator (value creation), they are not more efficient for either of the variables.
