Temp work: pay and schedules at the user company

RecommendationVerified

The temporary worker must receive at least the compensation they would receive as a permanent worker under the same conditions. The user company's schedule rules apply to the assignment.

Compensation also includes benefits granted to permanent workers. For an assignment in logistics or manufacturing, transmit to the agency the classification, salary and bonuses applicable at the user company. Overtime, night and Sunday work also follow the user company's regulations with the same bonuses and compensatory rest.

Only an approved temporary work agency can provide this service. Check the authorized reason, duration and required agreements before the assignment. The employment service notably prohibits temp workers in case of strike or lockout at the facility and for the category of personnel concerned.
