Contracts (HR 1)

Airbnb is one of the most important collaborative economy platforms in the tourism sector in recent years.

The platform was growing in recent years, until reaching a point, this is thanks to how they have known how to sell the brand so well, and this factor depends on all the workers of this platform.

Airbnb, at the end of 2015 had more than 1,600 employees in charge of the company, to make it one of the most known and used platforms by a large part of the population, both Spanish and global.

This platform is used throughout the year, but much more in the summer months, because it's the time when hotels raise prices, and Airbnb has to do the competition. For the business to work, this number of employees were hired at some point in their lives to work and collaborate on Airbnb, therefore, the contracts that were formulated by the company, are several, although the most notorious is the seasonal contract, because, as previously mentioned, the platform has a greater number of customers in summer, therefore, in this season, more workers are needed.

Many of these employees end the contract at the end of the season, although there is also another part that remains to continue complying with Airbnb, with another type of contract, such as the following:

·         Labor contracts for an indefinite period, which includes a three-month trial period.

·        Fixed-term contracts - an exception to the general principle that all labor contracts are for an indefinite period.

·         Labor contracts for extraordinary / special services.

·         Part-time labor contracts.

Also, as previously argued, today, the Airbnb platform workers work with Seasonal labor contracts, especially for workers whose employment will be dedicated to summer.
