Temporary Work – What Is It, How Much Does It Cost, and How Is It Settled with a Staffing Agency?

Temporary Work – How Does It Work?

At the outset, Gremi Personal discusses the client's situation: staffing shortages, increased demand for labour, and the goals to be achieved. If the conversation reveals that temporary work is a good solution, the cost — i.e., employee remuneration — is agreed upon. As a rule, the people we employ receive salaries comparable to those earned by workers in similar positions. Knowing market requirements, we often suggest what salary and benefits will be appropriate to attract the right candidates. We take care of recruitment, employment, all associated formalities, and the related responsibilities. This is the essence of labour mediation.

How Is Temporary Work Settled, and What Does Cooperation with a Staffing Agency Really Cost?

In billing for temporary work, we typically apply a linear rate, meaning the client pays an agreed price per hour worked. This price remains fixed for 3 to 6 months, and in some cases up to a year. Employment costs — or the so-called employer's cost — constitute by far the largest part of the invoice we issue as a staffing agency. The next cost element is the re-invoicing of fixed costs, i.e., non-wage benefits. These are perks that enhance the attractiveness of the job offer, such as: additional insurance, medical care, discount cards (e.g., a lunch card), or co-financing of accommodation and relocation costs. Clients typically share in these costs. On top of that come variable costs (coordinators, administrative expenses, obtaining additional certifications and training for employees) — costs arising from client service — plus the agency's margin. At Gremi Personal, all these components are combined into a linear rate tailored to the client's needs and situation, allowing full control over total expenditure.

How Is It Possible That Temporary Work Benefits Everyone?

All of the above temporary work costs — which in our case are presented to the client in a clear and transparent manner — represent the total cost per hour of work. Although we have listed quite a few of them, this arrangement is significantly more cost-effective than directly hiring an employee. Savings can reach as much as 20%. How is that possible? When hiring directly, you must account for the fact that for 12 monthly salaries, the employee will realistically work only 10 months — one month is vacation, and another is taken up by sick leave, childcare days, and similar absences. That is the average absence of a typical employee over the course of a year. With the temporary work service we offer as a staffing agency, the cost is stable and uninterrupted. Holidays and work breaks are our problem to manage. Savings also come from the cost of additional benefits. A tailored benefits package (housing allowance, commuting assistance, medical care) reduces the employee's living costs and improves their work comfort. When we ease the employee's financial and organisational burden, we help them focus better on their professional tasks. Temporary work combined with additional benefits is a very effective approach — simply raising an employee's salary would result in significantly higher costs due to the taxes that apply to wages.

It may seem impossible, but we have clearly demonstrated that temporary work is a win-win situation for the company using this service and for the employees — because what matters to an employee is the end result, namely the ratio of value received to effort expended, and not only in terms of job duties performed.

Why Choose Gremi Personal as Your Staffing Agency for Temporary Work Solutions?

We are not a staffing agency chasing quick profits. Our approach is geared towards long-term results. In our client relationships, we place trust and transparency at the forefront. We prepare temporary work offers that attract employees and are attractive to the companies we serve. Because we want to be a long-term partner, we do not aim for quick wins — instead, we invest in lasting collaboration and shared success. We genuinely want our clients to grow and develop alongside us. That is why we bear the initial investment costs associated with hiring and preparing employees for their tasks. The client only pays invoices for hours actually worked or tasks actually completed. This enables the companies we serve to significantly increase their competitiveness on the market.

We hope we have explained why the temporary work service is worth it and why Gremi Personal is the right staffing agency to deliver it. More information about our services can be found here: https://gremi-personal.com/oferta/
