Transnational hiring of temporary workers

WHAT

Temporary work is a form of employment where workers are employed by agencies (temporary work agencies) . The agencies “loan” the employee to a third party (the client company) where they work temporarily under the client company’s direction and supervision. The temporary worker is considered an employee of the temporary work agency, not of the hiring company. During his employment relationship the temporary worker can be hired out to several client companies. Once such work is performed cross-border, it represents a transnational temporary work agency.

WHO

A person who is hired by a temporary work agency outside Germany to work for a client company in Germany.

HOW

Employers (temporary work agencies) must have a licence if they supply workers as part of their business activities. In Germany, the provision of a temporary worker can be for a limited period only; the employee can work a maximum of 18 consecutive months for the same company.

Between the employer and the temporary worker must have been established an employment relationship(employment contract).
