On the other hand, full time employees work for a company on minimum average of 30hours per week or more. Full time employees get paid by the end of each month. As an employer, here are are some of the reasons why you should prefer hiring full time employees to independent contractors

Hiring cost for full time employees is cheaper as compared to hiring independent contractors paid hourly.  Full time employees are paid by the end of the month .Total salary paid by the end of the month is usually cheaper than hourly pay.

Availability of required labor force

 In case of an increase in amount of work there will be available labor force.Available full time employees can do extra emergent task at the same or slight salary increase. Operations of the business will not stop due to an increase in workload.

Delegation of duties

The boss can easily delegate duties to junior employees. This allows the employer to focus on other outside duties of the business e.g attending meetings with potential clients or investors  It is important to ensure the business grows and expand to cater for both local and international markets.
