Working for a Temporary Employment Agency: Things You Should Know
Although often confused, they are not the same. A temporary employment agency hires you directly and temporarily assigns you to another company to work: it is your legal employer during that period. A job placement agency or a recruitment consultancy only acts as an intermediary: it connects you with the company, but you sign the contract directly with the latter.
In summary: with a temporary employment agency you work for a company but are paid by the agency; with a consultancy the employment relationship is direct with the company.
No. A temporary employment agency cannot charge you any amount for registering, selecting you, or assigning you a position: the law expressly prohibits it. Their services are paid for by the company that needs the staff, never by the worker.
If a place asks you for money to "manage" a job for you, be wary: it is not operating as a legal temporary employment agency.
In this type of hiring, two companies are involved with different roles:
- The temporary employment agency is your legal employer: it signs your contract, pays your salary, and contributes to Social Security on your behalf.
- The user company is where you actually work: it organizes your tasks and schedule, but it is not who pays you.
That's why this relationship is called triangular: you, the temporary employment agency that hires you, and the company where you provide the service.
In Barcelona and its metropolitan area, demand for temporary staff is concentrated in specific sectors:
- Logistics and warehousing: very active due to the Zona Franca, the port, El Prat airport, and e-commerce.
- Hospitality and tourism: with strong peaks during high season.
- Retail and customer service: especially during campaigns like sales and Christmas.
- Events and trade fairs: with temporary reinforcements around events like the Mobile World Congress.
If you're looking in a specific sector, filter the directory for temporary employment agencies specialized in it.
Yes. As a worker assigned by a temporary employment agency, you are entitled to the same essential working and employment conditions as if you had been hired directly by the user company, including remuneration, from day one.
This covers aspects such as salary according to the collective agreement, working hours, overtime, or breaks. The temporary employment agency is obliged to respect this principle of equality.
