What is Temporary Staffing
Temporary staffing is a simple and straightforward concept and a management tool widely used by employers all across the world.
It consists of a triangular relationship between three distinct parties usually employed when work organizations, for several reasons, require additional manpower on a temporary basis to respond to specific needs.
Three parties
- A – Worker
- B – Temporary Staffing Agency
- C – Client/User firm
The worker (A) is employed by the Temporary Staffing Agency (B) – the employer of record (or legal employer), who then posts the worker to his Client/User Firm (or economic employer) (C).
The legal employer (B) is responsible for paying salaries and all other employment related costs and also holds disciplinary power over the worker (A). The Client/User firm (C) directs, controls, supervises and benefits from the labour provided by the worker (A). The Client/User firm (C) pays the Temporary Staffing Agency (B) for having provided the worker (A) to perform work from which they benefitted.
