temporary work

Temporary employment offers companies the flexibility they urgently need to implement projects and meet orders. It is an essential element of the competitiveness of companies in Romania. Many companies work with recruitment agencies to ensure their staffing needs.

For many companies, temporary work is not only an important element of flexibility, but also a way of recruiting staff. The temporary work model helps companies first of all to get an accurate picture of the employee, to get to know each other and to check whether expectations are met. At the same time, the employee can test for himself in real conditions whether the client's company suits him.

The basis of the cooperation between the staffing service provider and the company is a temporary employment contract. This regulates, among other things, what is paid per hour for the temporary worker to the staffing service provider. This amount is also called the "billing rate".

In general, the amount of the fee is made up of different components, such as
the temporary worker's salary expenses, including allowances paid to the industry and equal taxes for temporary wages, and
the cost share of the staffing service provider.
The vast majority of staffing service providers pay their employees at least in accordance with the collective agreement.

Can temporary workers be taken on by the client?
During the leasing of employees, the framework conditions with the client company can change: a permanent position must be filled. It often happens that the client company is so convinced of the temporary worker and his work that it wants to take him on. This means that it offers the temporary worker an employment contract for employment directly in its company. The regulations for this case are agreed in advance in the temporary employment contract between the personnel service provider and the client company.

How can you recognize a reputable staffing provider?
An important indicator is that the staffing provider applies collective agreements negotiated between associations and unions. It also pays attention to the implementation of other regulations, such as industry increases, equal pay and compliance with the maximum lease period. A good staffing provider is with the client like a partner.

In addition, the offer of customized qualifications and additional training opportunities for temporary workers, as well as a nationwide company committee on the part of the staffing service provider, can emphasize that the provider is serious and trustworthy.

Diversity is becoming an increasingly important requirement. Employees from different cultural backgrounds often work together in companies. As such, large personnel service providers are actively involved in projects that promote integration in the labor market.

A broad portfolio of services can also represent the quality and experience of the provider. A staffing provider that has been in the market for several years usually has extensive expertise.

Another advantage of a reputable staffing provider is the analysis they carry out on the job site before placing a temporary worker with the client for the first time. For example, they can clarify important occupational safety measures with the client. In addition, they need to prioritize work and safety measures, as well as preventive medical care.

You can determine the right staffing provider using the following key questions:

• Is there a temporary work permit?
• Are employees paid fairly in accordance with the collective agreement?
• Do industry regulations regarding raises, equal pay, and maximum lease periods apply?
• Is occupational safety a high priority?
• Is the risk of subsidiary liability minimized?
• Are there current authorization certificates?
• Is there a works council?
• Is there a broad portfolio of services and a national network of locations?
• Does the staffing service provider have experience in the industry?
• Are the staffing provider's contacts technically competent with the client's company?

How does collaboration work?
If a company has decided to use temporary staff, it hires a staffing service provider. The following questions should be clarified:

• What positions should be filled?
• What does the workplace look like?
• What qualifications are required for this?
• How many temporary workers are needed?
• For how long is the staff needed?
• Is the works committee involved?
• Who is the contact person for the staffing service provider in the company?
• What should employee training look like?
• Has the topic of workplace safety been clarified? (Protective equipment, instructions, etc.)

The more precisely the requirements of the clients are formulated, the more efficient the personnel search can be. Personnel service providers take care of the needs of companies, as well as taking care of temporary workers and recruiting applicants with a wide variety of qualifications. Based on a company's personnel request, the personnel service provider searches for suitable candidates and makes a pre-selection. Candidates that seem suitable are presented to the company, which makes the final decision.

The basis of cooperation between the staffing service provider and the client company is always an employee leasing contract concluded before the start of the work assignment.

Due to the high success of temporary work, almost every industry (provided it is legally permitted) works with staffing service providers.

There is a growing focus on hiring temporary workers in the manufacturing, logistics and industrial sectors. In times of shortage of skilled workers, companies in other sectors are also looking for flexible staff, for example in the commercial and medical sectors. Engineers and IT specialists can also find attractive jobs in temporary employment.

Randstad provides companies in all industries with qualified personnel as part of temporary employment.

Scientific studies show that temporary work does not replace permanent employees, but rather helps to secure them. In the case of high order volumes, permanent staff is often built up in parallel with temporary work. Only 2% of companies that use temporary workers reduce their permanent staff.
