Zeitarbeit

Zeitarbeit, also known as temporary or agency work, involves a worker being employed by a staffing agency, which then assigns them to work at various companies for short-term or project-based assignments. The worker remains employed by the agency, which handles payroll, taxes, and other employment responsibilities, while the worker performs tasks at the client company. This arrangement offers flexibility for both workers and companies: workers gain diverse experience and temporary employment, while companies can quickly scale their workforce without long-term commitments. Zeitarbeit is regulated to ensure fair treatment and working conditions for temporary staff.
