What Is a Temporary Layoff?
A temporary layoff is when an employer removes staff employees from their jobs for a short amount of time. This can happen for a variety of reasons:
The job is a seasonal position.....

It’s not easy work. Coffee is grown on hillsides to allow the water to run off. Coffee beans are berries first, sweet. Coffee pickers here make about $75 on a good day, at about $8 an hour. They pick during rainy season, so in the dense leaves it is always wet, and with the mud on a hillside it is slippery. Mosquitos bite, leaving a small red circle as if you have been stuck by a pin.

Social Security and Job Risks
In many cases, workers do not have any social security or insurance to cover job risk, and they do not receive any kind of recognition in extra wages, such as bonuses or loans during periods of inactivity. Only permanent workers are insured, and they represent a small portion of the total amount of workers linked to sugar production.

The Economic Seasons
The periods of activity and inactivity on the part of nature are in contrast with those of man. While the summer months are the period of rains and the awakening of life, of growth and maturation, they constitute a period of relative inactivity on the part of much of the Cuban labor force. It is called the tiempo muerto, the dead season. For the sugar cane farmer, there are only minor tasks to do, such as chopping out the weeds I the cane rows, and planting vegetable gardens and caring for them. Mostly there is work only for the year-round labor force on the centrales or in the colonias (cane fields). With the advent of the rains the temporary workers go back to the places from which they came. It is a time of waiting for the cane to grow and mature and for the rains to cease.
