When a company say "contract-to-hire", what exactly does that mean?

They hire you first as a short term contract employee (you sign a short term contract).  If they like you after the contract, they may offer you a real position ("hire" you)

Hmmm, sounds job specific. What context do you normally hear it in?\n\n\nProbably something to do with liabilities or expenditures...\n\ni.e. List of expendatures, Liabilities ans expenses, log of expendatures....something like that. I'm not sure though

Hire means to get a person in employment of a company or establishment and fore means to get the job of the employee terminated.\n\nAs the first answer tells there are internal policies, procedures and principles in hiring and firing people. These must be in accordance with the governmental regulations. Any breach og governmental regulations may lead to legal remeadies which an employer usually avoids.\n\nIrrespective, it is generally the requirement of the employer and liking og the bosses to keep a person in employment as long as they wish and firing as and when required.\nThings on paper are often different in practice.

yes it's legal, depending on the business and what you agreed to when you signed hiring papers.  Also company policies that come into effect after hiring could apply if you signed.   The big print giveth.  The small print taketh away.

It implies that they are incapable of succeeding without given a booster seat. If I were a minority, I would be offended. I want to be hired because I'm the most efficient, qualified person for the job, and because the boss thinks I can contribute to the company. If they don't want to hire me because I'm a woman, then I don't want to work for them.

It means help with finding a job.

Most employers expect to pay you for the time you are at the job performing the work only.\n\nThe only exception I have seen to this is service technicians, normally a contract explicitly states that the time out enroute to the customer service site is billable.  This is because the service technician must provide transportation of tools and service parts to different locations each time.\n\nAgain, service contracts have all this spelled out, the customer signs the contract and is on notice that this is how it would be billed.\n\nYou cannot expect a customer to pay for your travel time unless it is agreed to as a condition for providing your services.  In any case, this needs to be agreed to in a signed, written contract.

The employment offer expires. When you let the offer lapse, they assume you're not interested, so they hire someone else.

It means that the company may contact a former employer to verify you worked there, did the job you say you did, worked the timeframe that you state, and possibly verify your salary. They ask you the question because if they contact a former employer and get information about you that would affect their decision to hire you then you have released both the current company and former company to say such things.\n\nDo you have additional employment information means do you have more jobs than what the space on the application allows, or do you have additional duties or tasks that do not fit on the application form.\n\nWhen you go to fill out an application it is always a good idea to bring with you the names, addresses, phone numbers of all former employers, supervisors, starting and ending dates, and starting and ending salary you earned going back 10 years. That way you have it right in front of you and you can just write it down. Also bring with you any letters of reference, list of personal and professional references with you in case you are asked for them.

This could mean a couple things.....not sure of the context...\n\nFirst, principals are what you call the people who own and operate a closely held company.  So, someone might refer to the owners of an agency as the agency principals.\n\nSecond, there is a body of law known as principal/agent law, or the law of agency.  And loosely, you could refer to this body of law as "agency principles."  The idea in this area of law is, an "agent" can bind a "principal" to agreements.  So if someone can establish that X was an agent of Y -- that a principal-agent relationship existed -- then it follows that X had authority to enter an agreement on behalf of Y and make Y liable to fulfill that agreement.  I'm being a little fast and loose here but that's the general idea.

Hello,\n\nMy employer uses Independent Contractors to work on some of our contracts (we also refer to Independent Contractors or 1099s). When we'd like to bring someone on as an IC, I issue a formal agreement between my company and the IC which outlines the relationship of the parties and the rights that each has.\n\nDue to IRS regulations, we have to be very careful to distinguish between an employee and an independent contractor. Were you issued an agreement? If so, that should outline each parties obligations to the other. If you can provide a bit more information as to a possible predicament you may be in, I might be able to help a bit more.

It means it is not an offer.  If you sign it, it will not constitute an acceptance and it will not become a contract.

Yes, I've seen that happen before.  It's really annoying, but you figure if that's their style, do you really want to be working for them anyway?  More likely, they might offer something but refuse to put it in writing so that they can back out later.\n\nEdit: What that probably means is that you're kind of a second or third choice candidate for them, and they're still looking for the right person, but in case they don't find anyone, you're kind of the backup.  It's probably better to follow up still in case you can still get the job, but go ahead and treat it like you don't have an offer and keep searching for a job.

It's hard to make much sense of this. Any agreement supported by consideration (money for money or money for value in goods or services) is a contract.\n\nA contract to supply a project means an agreement to provide one or more items need for the project.\n\nSupervision is a service, and a contract can provide that the same person or legal entity will provide the items and supervise their placement or use.\n\nConstruction contracts often provide for specialized products and services to be provided by the same person or legal entity (e.g., electrical installation, plumbing installation, alarm system installation, foundation building, framing, drywall installation, interior woodwork, etc.\n\nThey are both supply and service contracts, or both supply and service agreements. To try to call one a contract and one an agreement makes no sense.
