Arbeitnehmerüberlassung
Arbeitnehmerüberlassung, or employee leasing, is a practice in Germany where a company (the lessor) provides its employees to another company (the lessee) for a specified period. This arrangement allows the lessee to access skilled workers without directly hiring them. The lessor remains the employee’s official employer, handling payroll and benefits, while the lessee directs their day-to-day work. This system offers flexibility to businesses, helping them manage fluctuating workloads and specialized skill requirements while ensuring employees still receive their rights and protections under labor laws.
