Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz

The Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG) is a German law governing the temporary employment of workers. It regulates how companies can hire employees from staffing agencies to fill short-term needs without permanently employing them. The law aims to protect workers’ rights by ensuring they receive fair pay and conditions similar to permanent employees in the same role. Additionally, it establishes requirements for staffing agencies, promoting transparency and preventing abuse of temporary work arrangements. Essentially, it balances flexibility for employers with rights and protections for workers in the temporary labor market.
