What is temporary agency work actually?

Temporary staffing – also known as temporary agency work or employee leasing – means: the employee is employed by workgreat but works at your company and follows your technical instructions. You get additional support without becoming the employer yourself. The legal basis in Austria is the Temporary Agency Work Act (Arbeitskräfteüberlassungsgesetz, AÜG) together with the collective bargaining agreement (Kollektivvertrag) – it regulates remuneration, equal treatment, and protection of assigned employees.

  • The employer is workgreat – you manage the assignment technically on site.
  • Remuneration and working hours are based on the collective agreement and the Temporary Employment Act.
  • Your responsibility: a safe, fairly equipped workplace – we take care of the rest.

When Temporary Staffing Pays Off for You.

Temporary staffing is more than a stopgap – it is a strategic workforce planning tool. More and more companies are combining a permanent core workforce with a flexible portion to be able to respond to fluctuations without building up fixed costs. Typical situations in which our clients rely on us:

  • Bridge staffing gaps: parental leave, extended sick leave, educational leave.
  • Cushion peaks: seasonal business, large orders, inventories, projects.
  • Try before hire: Get to know employees in everyday work before making permanent placements.
  • Grow without risk: build capacity before a permanent hire becomes viable.

03Demand

We will clarify your requirements together.

It starts with a brief conversation – by phone or at your company. We want to understand which position needs to be filled, which qualifications are mandatory, whether work is done in shifts or on weekends, and how long the assignment is expected to last. This results in a clear requirement profile – and an honest assessment of how quickly we can deliver.

  • Requirements profile: Tasks, qualifications, driver's license, languages.
  • Framework: working time model, place of work, start and planned duration.
  • Transparent offer with hourly rate – no hidden costs.

04Selection

Screened workers, usually within a few days.

From our pool of skilled and support staff in trades, industry, logistics and office work, we select the people who fit the job and your team. Every candidate has completed a personal interview with us, and qualifications and references have been verified. You receive a small, handpicked selection instead of a pile of applications – and you decide who gets started.

  • Personal interview, qualification and reference check by workgreat.
  • Presentation of suitable profiles often within 48 hours.
  • You get to know the person in advance and give the go-ahead.

05assignment

Start your assignment – we'll take care of the rest.

From the first day of work, we handle all administration: registration with the Austrian Health Insurance (ÖGK), payroll accounting, insurance, vacation and sick leave provisions, and official notifications. For employees from outside the area, we also arrange accommodation, travel, and work clothing. You only pay for the hours worked and receive a single, transparent invoice.

  • Only hours worked are charged – we cover sick leave, vacation and special payments.
  • A dedicated contact person for you and for the employees.
  • Increase or reduce capacity at any time – without notice periods.

06Perspective

Verlängern, übernehmen oder beenden – Sie entscheiden.

If it works out on both sides, you take the worker on in a direct employment relationship – temporary agency work thus becomes a risk-free trial period. If a project runs longer, we extend it without any hassle. And those who want to retain good temporary workers in the long term offer them what matters to the permanent staff as well: fair conditions, training, and real prospects. That is exactly what we ensure together.

  • Permanent takeover possible at any time – we support the transition.
  • Follow-up assignments with proven employees who already know your company.
  • Long-term partnership instead of one-time placement.

Temporary agency work – legally compliant and plannable

Our employees are employed by workgreat. You only pay for the hours actually worked, while we take care of payroll accounting, social insurance, vacation and sick leave provisions, and all administration. The assignment is carried out in a legally compliant manner in accordance with the Austrian Temporary Employment Act (AÜG) and the applicable collective agreement – your personnel costs become plannable, your risk calculable.

Every worker goes through a personal interview as well as a qualification and reference check with us. You get people who fit the job and your company – and you scale your workforce according to order volume without building up notice periods or fixed costs. If it fits, it doesn't have to stop at temporary work: after a successful assignment, you can take over employees into your company at any time.
