Temporary work has the worst possible reputation as modern slave labor at dumping wages that displaces permanent employment. Temporary work may also be acceptable under certain circumstances Alternatives be for permanent employment. 8 tips.
If you want to work but don't have a permanent job and won't be able to work for the foreseeable future, temping could be a viable alternative to unemployment - albeit many People this Perspektive don't even consider it. But this flexible form of cooperation offers many advantages depending on the circumstances - for employers as well as for employees.
The Term Temporary work has undergone a veritable change in meaning over the course of time. In the past, especially in the 70s and 80s, temporary work was a means of doing this salary of low-income families while raising and educating their children. It might stir negative perspective that many have on this subject, still from the time.
Later the point of view changed, temporary work became more and more one System to support employers who were understaffed due to the recession or the shortage of skilled workers caused by the baby boom.
In addition, the employment form of temporary work increased, as it was no longer only used to support low-income families, but also as a transitional measure for the unemployed. You can find temporary employment in many areas. Lots Companys offer, for example, additional temporary jobs in IT-area or for engineers, i.e. also for higher-qualified professional groups. This has changed the perspective on the subject.
It is already a well-known fact that temporary work offers many advantages, especially for employers: By hiring temporary workers, companies can be easier and less bureaucratic Employees hire and fire. They can also take advantage of flexible working hours and shorter working hours.
The added flexibility that temporary positions offer is a valuable asset for companies as they can adapt to fluctuations in demand. They can also be used by companies that want to hire qualified specialists, while there is strong demand for them, whereby the temporary workers can be taken on as regular employees after the contract has expired - or not.
For these reasons, the trend towards more fixed-term contracts in Germany has become a hotly debated topic of conversation in recent years. This trend is also related to digitization, automation and increasing flexibility in the labor market.
Even if temporary work with its fixed-term employment option initially seems more attractive to employers than full-time employment, it also has disadvantages for companies: For example, the retention of employees in fixed-term positions is not as good as with full-time employment and increases fluctuation in companies clear.
In addition, it can negatively affect the reputation of the Company effect, which can ultimately make it even more difficult to find suitable specialists. Because it is precisely the highly qualified people who can afford it who will fast run away when better working conditions are on the horizon and possibly even carry know-how from the company to the competition.
A trend can also be observed: the lack of flexibility on the labor market means that many people are dissatisfied with their job. While it is well known that every company wants to hire people who are willing to work more than forty hours a week, highly skilled workers are often unable to find a job that interests them as they do not have enough time to work the hours required by their employer. This leads to many employees looking for new challenges, which causes a chain reaction with negative consequences for employees Economy can trigger.
A flexible labor market, on the other hand, means more opportunities for people to work and acquire skills that are theirs Career benefit. Of course, that also means a higher one Risks, the Workplace zu verlieren, as well as the problems associated with unemployment. In addition, the pay is often lower than one might expect in the long term. On the other hand, people who Fun have a lot of advantages in temporary work: you can do something, for example Money to earn, are more flexible and find another job more easily.
Temporary work can therefore be a good way to expand your professional needs to satisfy and make money while gaining expertise and skills that may not be immediately available in the job market. Temporary work is also a good way to increase your Curriculum vitae to improve if you are in the Future want to apply for a better job. This gives you more chances of getting the job you want.
You can apply for a temporary employment position, especially for people who are looking for a job but do not know where to turn. Especially for those who don't want to wait to find a permanent job, there are several companies that offer this type of work. Ultimately, temporary work also has a psychological factor and can be extremely motivating: if you have been made redundant, for example, you might assume that you cannot be placed. But that's not always the case. A temporary position opens up new perspectives and conveys to those affected: It is possible to get a job again and get back on track.
Especially when unemployment is simply a result of lack of qualifications is, temporary work can be a real opportunity and alternative to an expensive one Further Training .
This can be a temporary position in the service industry, e.g. B. in a restaurant or as a receptionist, or you are offered a permanent position in a company. Also, it is always a great option to find the company that you are looking for Application consider getting to know better. This will give you an idea of the type of work and the people you will be working with.
Young people in particular benefit from this, because for many applications they have to prove extensive professional experience, which they often lack. Temporary work can help them gain this experience. The same applies to those returning to work and Womenwho have just come back from parental leave and are now about to reintegrate. For them, temporary work can be a kind of training measure that helps them gain a foothold in an industry.
It was the same with Sigrid Lang, who I am here on Best of HR – Berufebilder.de® interviewed about temporary employment have. She is assistant to the project manager at Neukranz Personalservice GmbH. There she organizes all internal business processes for the customers in the project office of a large construction site.
For the trained office clerk it was clear from the start: Temporary work is better than unemployment: “I had my entire 'career' through to Hartz IV. The job here motivated me again and showed me that I'm worth something. I would do it again anytime.”
According to Lang, temporary work has the advantage that it definitely gets more money than unemployment and can have very different experiences: “I learn a lot of new things through various assignments and can further develop my professional know-how.
I also get to know the companies better and can test for myself whether I would like to work for my hirer. " Because basically there is the possibility of being taken on: “For some assignments I was offered permanent positions in advance and many companies would also like to take on temporary workers. But then it often doesn't work for internal reasons such as a hiring freeze. "
On the other hand, she doesn't feel badly treated or exploited, but admits that there are of course dubious temporary employment agencies: "So far, I've always been valued here." And even with the fact that she receives less salary than her permanent colleagues for the same work, she has none Problem:
"DI knew that beforehand and wouldn't have done it otherwise!" However, she also had a pain threshold in terms of salary from the start Head: "If I hadn't received a certain amount, I would have preferred to apply for unemployment benefits."
Sigrid Lang's experiences are also confirmed by the "Temporary Work in North Rhine-Westphalia" study carried out by the Ministry of Labour, Health and social affairs was published: A massive replacement of permanent staff by temporary workers is therefore not recognizable. Rather, temporary work is used for recruiting personnel and in times of high demand.
And it can be an important means of transition to a permanent position: almost 58 percent of all employees of the temporary employment sector in NRW were previously unemployed, while 20 percent of them were long-term unemployed. And around 1 / 3 the temporary workers find a new employment in the first labor market from the time work.
The disadvantage, however, is the low remuneration: although wages in seri- ous temporary workers are generally regulated by collective agreements, the lowest wages are around 7,20 euros per hour. Therefore, temporary workers in comparable salary groups earn 36 to 45 per cent less than their established colleagues.

I have never worked in temporary employment myself. But my girlfriend works with a temporary employment agency. She is definitely very happy with it.
Thank you for this interesting article on temporary work. I also think that temporary work is better than unemployment. As you have described, you can continue your education in the meantime and acquire certain qualifications.
Thanks for the detailed post!
The timeARBOT BEIT BELONGS TO THE GENERAL PROHIBITION.
Meier experience with the timed staff are under all the best. BIs for the Unzterschrift I was lied to the blue of heaven. Job without a certificate no problem. after the signature came the hammer. Only late shift. 14-22 Time Salary Salary you always have to earn a little less but the Doplete works. And I got shitty too, I just say time kono
Thank you for your valuable report.
Temporary work is simply abolished. Only bad experiences with it, constantly from a to b or on call. At the interview, I was promised an increase in the salary, was also not respected. Purest fool, keep away from temporary work agencies.
Thank you for your contribution.
After half a year of unemployment, I had also decided to work for the time. I had been offered an employment contract for nine months. This was then extended by half a year. After that I was again unemployed, but after a few days I missed the work again. At another temporary agency I got the opportunity to work for three months. It was a completely different job from the first temporary worker, but it was a lot of fun. I asked directly after a takeover and had a huge success. I got a permanent job and can not imagine a better job for myself.
Overall, I have had positive experiences with both temporary work agencies. I was treated like any other worker. I was very well instructed in my new work areas and trained. Nothing was superficial, according to the motto "she is going away soon anyway, because you hardly need to make an effort".
Meanwhile, I myself employ our temporary workers and hope that I make everyone feel welcome, not just tolerated, and that their workforce is important to the company.
All in all, I can only comment positively about time work, but I also know that unfortunately there are many other experiences.
Thanks for the review on this very controversial topic. As with any topic, there are two sides to it.
[…] On for employees it can be an alternative to unemployment, like the example of Sigrid Lang […]
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your contribution. That's why there is a comment function, where you can then tell us your point of view. This is also read exactly as the article.
Der Artikel spiegelt the opinion of Ms. Lang again, you have had different experiences.

Well, I find your pro-time article somewhat one-sided.
I have been through such employment. I can only say: never again!
Why are at least 90% of temporary workers so dissatisfied with this kind of employment relationship?
And why does a whole bunch of “managers” earn the so-called personnel dispatchers, who earn a lot from every hour I work? Up to two thirds of the wages earned are withheld. Why is temporary work spreading like cancer?
It's obviously a very lucrative business. Of course not for the temporary worker of course.
A shame that the Red-Green government has done to the people through these laws.
Why do all politicians sit in the supervisory board? First and foremost
Wolfgang Clement at Adecco. This beautiful lobbying stinks to heaven !!
This is also the reason why most people have lost faith in politics (including me). It is basically only a question of group and business interests. The ruble has to roll... Only not with the worker in portemonaie.
Suggestions? gladly. How about, for example, the abolition of dismissal protection, or at least a relaxation. That's the reason why no one stops harder.
If labor shortages prevail, the companies should negotiate directly with the people. And not by human traffickers.
It's a shame what has become of the world of work, thanks to the globalization and boundless inhumane profiteering of many people.
Thank you for your statement. Somewhat constructively, I personally would have found more useful.
Ex alcoholics, confused in the head and representative of socialist thought finds new task in a responsible position. I can not do anything, I can barely handle it, and I am a cross-thinker. But this does not matter, because leadership means delegating. As a member of the board, I would like to wear a little pot with very good pay. I can drive Audi A6 Avant, -A8 and Benz S-Class. Billions in the sand by megalomania, incompetence and wrong decisions, I can also have studied without. But that does not matter because disability in Germany is rewarded with generous compensation in millions of euros!
Unfortunately, I haven't found my new job yet. So I cheat myself with Hartz IV, 1-Euro jobs, educational measures, writing books, donations & creativity through the system until early retirement. Uh, wait a minute ... the system isn't that bad after all. I can take it easy and don't have to work so much. I'll be 100 years old then. And from the age of 58 the office leaves me alone anyway.
In my opinion, temporary work is not at all an alternative to permanent employment, certainly not for workers. It may be that the companies have to react flexibly to the order situation, but also the employee needs planning security, which is blended with the Arge is at any rate an open secret in OWL.
I do not have a bad conscience when I get money from the office, because for many there are no jobs, since it will take time to think about a new social order, slavery, or physical property would like to return. Flexibility yes, slave wages no, this is my opinion on the time work
Hi Dennis,
For the time work one can quite different opinion, as Sigrid Lange once again in the interview shows says:
There are already ideas for solving the income problem:
The lowest collective wages are about 7,20 Euro per hour! I have had an allegedly reputable temporary employment agency in which I got 5,50 Euro the hour! And partly I worked 50 hours a week! Temporary work does not bring a family with ALG2 way this is the truth. Most of the time it will be increased! If you count exactly you will find that pure for the good conscience is that you work at ZAB! And that the professional fields expand in the ZAB industry may be! But to see clearly are two things!
The wages always remain below a fixed setting, and the true percentages that go into a fixed position are not manageable.
The third thing that comes with self-taught forces and people who have achieved a high professional status in their lives are exploited there and mostly left to the employers for monotonous activities! If you are interested in the work of the ZABs, please do not hesitate to contact us it's fun to do it, and take action to help him or her get into the workplace where the faces of these people are not sitting down again after a year, so you'd get a lot more people back at work And so you reduce the number of unemployed, not with the pressure you are going nowhere else there is no money! but I do not like it, but I think it's a good idea, but I do not know what it is someone who was already allowed to get to know about ten temporary workers!
Hello Mr. Langfeld,
thank you for your experience report, which I find very valuable at this point. Apparently, you have had different experiences than Mrs Lange.
Having just witnessed this week, like a discussion that began quite similarly, and in which obviously personal experiences also played a big role), ended up with no really convincing arguments, I have become a little cautious now.
In any case: If I should take up the subject of temporary work again for an article, I'll be happy to get back to you - as long as I can reach you at the specified email address.
