Temporary work on the rise

In the past, temporary work was often a last resort. Today? A real career booster! That has changed:

A fair deal: The Collective Labour Agreement for temporary employment has been in force since 2012. This means: minimum wages, overtime pay and more. You are protected!
Equal rights: As a temporary employee, you often have even more rights than permanent employees. Can you believe it?
Social Security: You are fully insured and enjoy the same protection as everyone else. Safety first!

This is why flexwork can be particularly interesting for you if you are placed through a recruitment agency such as universaljob**.
