Standard employment is defined in terms of an open ended employment contract,
restricted to one employer, and regulated by restrictions on working time, length of the working
week and other defined conditions of work (Schmid, 2010). On the other hand, conditions of
employment defined by temporary employment (casual work or fixed term contracts), temporaryagency
work, ambiguous employment relationships such as dependent homework, and part-time
work are treated as non-standard forms of employment (NSFE) (ILO 2015).
