[ˈkwɑzi ɪmˈplɔyənt]
A situation where freelancers or gig workers engage in long-term contracts with a single client, blurring the lines between traditional employment and freelance work.
In quasi-employment, workers may develop close working relationships with their clients and become integral to the client's operations, yet they typically do not receive the same benefits and protections as regular employees.
