Manage Your Gig Workforce by Time-sheet Module

The gig economy describes an environment where organizations hire contract or temporary professionals for a brief length of time or some specific tasks. These gig or contractual specialists may consist of subject matter experts, freelancers, contractual workers, advisors but not restricted to only these. The gig workforce works on a workhour basis, i.e., by timesheet monitoring and other by lump-sum project basis in which the whole project needs to be completed in a particular amount by a fixed deadline, which is monitored by the Project Management Team.

Why Gig?

Gig workers are different from permanent employees in many aspects. Gig workers are not on formal employment payroll of the organization. At any time, they might be working for more than an organization simultaneously. This kind of professionals or workforce mostly includes people who are looking for agility, flexibility, and a non-traditional work environment.

Is gig real?

Research conducted by Intuit suggests that by 2020 over 40% of Americans would be working freely on a gig workforce structure. The same research position India as second in the worldwide Gig workforce structure by 2020 after the United States. As indicated by the National Skill Development Corporation, around 70 million are relied upon to enter the nation’s work power by 2023, including 59 million youth under 30 years. People under age 30 are the frontrunners in the gig workforce as they love to work on their terms, focusing more on the project, rather than the organization. India, for sure, is on its way to a gig economy, making us “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

Benefits to the Organization:

The capacity to hire specialists permanently is not required all the time and here a considerable chunk of operational expense can be reduced
Agility in scaling the workforce up or down all over rapidly to fulfill the business need
Reduced expense of giving different non-tangible benefits
Lower space costs as mostly gig workers work from home

Benefits to the professionals:

Dealing with different projects for different organizations at the same time enables them to expand their skillset
More autonomy and opportunity to pick when and where to work
Less risk of occupation and income loss with different organizations
In specific fields, gig laborers can earn more while working less than full-time employees on similar levels

Hurdles in implementing Gig Workforce:

How to mobilize internal and external workforce?
How to measure the utilization of the gig workforce?
How to finally reward employees when they are operating from a remote location?
How to effectively manage hours spent vs. allotted in a timesheet?
How to link payment to the Number of hours spent on work/project allocated?
With a lot of workers, singular accountability becomes quite troublesome

When it comes to measuring performance, organizations still depend on old models and metrics, and with a gig coming into the picture, it becomes more challenging to measure part-time and remote workers by these obsolete systems. The fact that a gig employee works simultaneously with many organizations and different cultures makes it more difficult for both employer and employee to manage and measure performance.
