A productive cough brings up sputum from the respiratory tract; this process helps speed recovery from inflammation of the airways and lungs. A nonproductive cough is dry and scratchy, raises no sputum, and is typically a response to allergies or medication.
The adjective temporary is used to describe something that isn't permanent or lasts only a short time. Its roots are in the Latin word tempus, meaning time or season.. An employee who isn't a permanent addition to the staff is temporary and in this use, the word is often shortened to temp.

Hi Karen, A fixed term contract is one which has pre-defined expiry date or event, whereas a temporary contract is when where the employment term is intended to be for a limited time period however the exact date of expiry is not known. fixed-term contract will automatically expire at the end of its term. A temporary contract is to cover short term gaps in staffing. Normally issued on an open basis with a set notice period.
