A W2 contract is a type of employment arrangement where a worker is hired by a staffing agency or employer and is paid as a W2 employee rather than as an independent contractor. This means the employer withholds taxes, provides a W2 tax form at year-end, and may offer benefits such as health insurance or paid time off.
