# Employment

A [Worker](/reference/workers/object) can have more than one employment through their time at the company.
Significant changes in [classification](/reference/classifications/object) or [location](/reference/locations/object)
require a new employment to be started for the worker.

For example, when converting a contractor to an employee, their original employment will end, and a new employment will be created
to reflect their new status as an employee.

Similarly, when an employee moves from one country to another in a way that necessitates a change in their contract
(for example because their local employer will change), a new employment object will be created for them.

In rare cases, a worker may have more than one concurrent employments. This is common in some countries where
the company enters into an employment contact with someone, while also engaging with them as a contractor.
In this situation, while both employments are **current**, only one will be marked as **primary**.

Most of the time, a Worker will only have one Employment record, representing their **current** **primary** employment.
