AÜG

The Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG), or Employee Leasing Act, is a German law regulating the temporary hiring of workers through staffing agencies. It ensures that temporary workers have similar rights and working conditions as permanent employees of the company they work for, preventing exploitation or unfair treatment. The law sets rules on contracts, maximum durations, and transparency, while also requiring staffing agencies to obtain permits and adhere to specific standards. Overall, AÜG aims to protect workers' rights and maintain fair labor practices within the temporary employment industry.
