Temporary employment logistics
The German Temporary Employment Act (AÜG) is intended to enable companies to absorb production and labour peaks by using flexible temporary workers. If logistics overtime is cancelled at short notice, this temporary period can be bridged thanks to temporary work without having to hire employees and then lay them off again. However, numerous legal requirements must be taken into account when using temporary workers, which are summarised below.
Permission required
The supply of temporary workers as part of a company's business activities is subject to authorisation in Germany. The temporary employment licence is initially only issued by the Federal Employment Agency for a limited period of one year. Only after three years of guaranteed activity in temporary employment can an unlimited licence be issued. authorisation must be applied for. Without this authorisation, transfer agreements are invalid. In this case, the law also stipulates that an agreement between the The hirer and the temporary worker enter into an employment relationship. This regulation also obliges the hirer to always check that the temporary work permit has been properly issued, as otherwise an employment relationship is established with the temporary worker.
Maximum transfer period
The assignment of employees is temporary and has since been limited to a maximum duration of 18 months. The duration of the assignment must be assessed on an employee-related basis. This means that the same temporary worker may not be assigned to the same company for more than 18 consecutive months.
Equal Treatment
According to the statutory principle of equal treatment, temporary logistics workers are entitled to the same working conditions as permanent employees during their assignment at the hirer's company. These include working hours, overtime, breaks, rest periods, night work, holidays and days off.
Equal Pay
According to the principle of equal pay, every temporary worker from abroad is entitled to the same pay as a comparable permanent employee of the hiring company. The principle of equal pay can be deviated from by collective agreement. In this case, it is not necessary for the employer and employee to be bound by a collective agreement. A collectively agreed lower wage can also be effectively applied if the applicability of the corresponding collective agreement is agreed in the employment contract. Equal pay is mandatory after nine months of temporary employment at the latest. This means that every temporary worker must be paid the same wage as a comparable permanent employee after more than nine months of employment with the same company.
Surrender contract
The temporary employment contract concluded between the lender and the hirer must be in writing. In this contract, the lender must declare that it has the necessary authorisation to supply temporary workers. The hirer must state in the contract the specific characteristics of the temporary worker's job, the professional qualifications required and the main working conditions, including pay, applicable to a comparable worker in the hirer's company. If the lender loses the required temporary work permit, it must inform the hirer immediately of the date on which the permit expires.
