Temporary work - Advantages & disadvantages - Temporary workers

Posted 8 November 2021

Temporary work or agency work is now part of industry and the skilled trades and is an important component for companies. An experienced personnel service provider has been working with medium-sized and large companies for years and knows the needs of its customers. Personnel service providers from Germany, Poland or Eastern Europe often have access to projects and vacancies that can often only be found through temporary work or so-called employee leasing. Temporary work is often the springboard for employees into industry or the open market. After a period as a temporary worker, the employee can familiarise themselves with the company and switch to a permanent position.

The employee has the opportunity to gain experience, get to know other employees and structures. If necessary and in consultation with their personnel service provider, they can transfer to the company or increase their opportunities in another company.

Equal pay and equal rights are protected by the Temporary Employment Act and Equal Pay. Your personnel service provider will support you in all matters relating to your opportunities on the labour market.
