What is a Per Diem Meat Cutter?

A Per Diem Meat Cutter is a skilled worker who prepares and cuts meat products on a temporary or as-needed basis, rather than as a full-time or part-time regular employee. They may be called in to cover busy periods, staff shortages, or special events. Their duties include cutting, trimming, and preparing meat for retail sale, ensuring quality and safety standards are met.
