Working, as everybody knows, is a good thing. Civilizations and personalities are built on healthy, hard work. Then why is it that working too hard can cause family disruption, stress-related illnesses, and even death? When work becomes a compulsion, an obsession, and the only driving force in one's life, working hard can turn into a problem. People who fit this profile are often trying to get all of their needs met at work and are often addicted to the adrenaline that accompanies crisis. Ironically, they are not the best workers. They are usually difficult to get along with, are unable to delegate or manage their time, and are demanding, inflexible, moody, and crisis-makers.

When is it time to either hire a temporary employee as a regular employee, or to end the temporary assignment? Unfortunately the time frame is neither clear nor open ended. Legal issues arise when a temp is continually employed over many months. These issues focus on benefits and pay equity with regular employees. In 2001 Microsoft paid $97 million to settle this type of issue regarding benefit eligibility. WorkSmart uses a guideline of 10 months, as the decision timeframe to hire or end the assignment. In no event should a temporary employee continue past 330 days (11 months).
