QUESTION:

"What are the legal and financial implications of retaining seasonal staff rather than replacing them?"

ANSWER:

Without specific knowledge of the organization or industry, retaining seasonal employees year round, rather than replacing them each season would mean that they become permanent or full time staff.

This means they would be entitled to all of the applicable benefits, including vacation pay etc. that a full time employee would be entitled to. Employers are facing similar issues with contract employees that have been with them for a long period of time.
