Temporary work, employee leasing, agency work - meaning

Temporary work, also known as employee leasing or agency work, is a labour supply model in which companies hire temporary workers from specialised personnel service providers in order to bridge temporary staff shortages or manage specific projects.

What is the difference between temporary work and direct employment?

The employment relationship in employee leasing differs from a direct employment relationship between an employer and an employee. There are typically three parties in temporary employment:

Borrower (customer): The company that requests the labour from a personnel service provider and deploys this labour in its business.
Lender (personnel service provider): The company that provides the labour to meet the needs of the hirer. The hirer is the employer of the temporary workers.
Temporary employee (agency worker): The person who works for the hirer via the personnel service provider.

The employment relationship between the temporary employment agency and the temporary worker is usually governed by an employment contract, which sets out the terms and conditions of employment, including salary, working hours, holiday entitlement, etc. The temporary employment agency is responsible for complying with labour law regulations and for providing social benefits such as health insurance and pension insurance.

Temporary work - advantages for engineers

Even if temporary work is still associated with prejudices, in Germany it offers a wide range of opportunities thanks to the Temporary Employment Act (AÜG) a secure job, great career opportunities and more variety than a traditional employment relationship. Temporary work also offers:

Flexibility: Temporary contracts allow engineers to organise their working hours and locations more flexibly. This can be particularly attractive if they want to work on different projects or vary their working environment.
Broad experience: By working in different companies and industries on temporary projects, engineers can gain a wide range of experience. This can expand their skills, knowledge and networks and promote their professional development.
Variety and challenge: Temporary projects can offer a variety of challenges as engineers work in different organisations and projects. This can help sharpen their skills and advance their careers.

Temporary work - advantages for companies

Temporary workers in the engineering sector also offer various advantages for companies:

Flexibility in personnel requirements: Companies can hire engineers on a temporary basis to cope with seasonal fluctuations in workload or specific project phases without making long-term commitments.
Access to specialised skills: Temporary work allows companies to quickly access specific expertise and skills that may not be available in-house.
Reduction of personnel administration tasks: As temporary workers are officially employed by the temporary employment agency, the administrative burden for the company in terms of payroll and social benefits is reduced compared to hiring employees directly.
Agility and scalability: Temporary work enables companies to quickly increase or reduce their labour force as needed without compromising the flexibility and agility of their team.
Reduction of risksBecause temporary workers are employed by the temp agencies, companies can reduce the risk of labour law violations, unemployment compensation and other legal issues that can be associated with direct employment relationships.
