Summary

What are the differences between Contingent Worker and Pending Worker?

First of all, in the interest of full disclosure, I am an IT Admin, not an HR person.

We have only two types of users set up in Fusion:  Employees and Implementation Users. 

All of our contract and contract-to-hire workers are set up through the Security Console as Implementation Users...with a userid based on their name.  If a contractor is let go, their implementation user profile is de-activated and locked.  If the contractor is hired, the same thing happens, and then they are hired as an employee and a numeric userid is auto provisioned.  Finally, any non-autoprovisioned roles are manually added to the new user profile.
