Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG)

The Arbeitnehmerüberlassungsgesetz (AÜG), or German Temporary Employment Agency Act, regulates the leasing of employees from one company to another. It ensures that workers placed by temporary employment agencies receive fair treatment, similar pay, and conditions as permanent employees in the host company. The law aims to protect workers' rights, prevent exploitation, and clarify the responsibilities of agencies and employers. It requires agencies to obtain licensing and adhere to regulations, promoting transparency and fairness in temporary employment practices in Germany.
