Are co-op students considered to be seasonal workers?
Expert: Howard Levitt
Kasriel asked:
I was reading your article on vacation pay and in the last section you talk about seasonal workers and part-time workers. I was therefore wondering if this group would also include co-op students, as they work for four months at a time as employees of a company.
Howard Levitt answered:
Yes this would include co-op students because they are considered temporary workers.
