What are the differences between the company you work in and the temporary employment agency for you?

You conclude your employment contract with the temporary employment agency. The temporary employment agency therefore has the obligations of an employer:

  • You receive your wages/salary from the temporary employment agency
  • You request holiday from the temporary employment agency
  • Illness: you need to inform the temporary employment agency and the company you work in.
  • Accidents: you need to inform the temporary employment agency about an accident at work. If you are unable to work because of the accident, you must also inform the company you work in.

Please note: you are bound by the "instructions of the company", which means: The company you work in will give you instructions on how to carry out the work at the workplace and specify the exact daily working hours.


If the company you work in has a works council, it is also responsible for you. You can consult them with questions and problems.
