Benefits of Temporary Work 

Temporary work brings with it many benefits:

• Working time flexibility.
  You, as the temporary employee, informs Work Service about the days and hours you are available to work. Your career adviser will present you with job offers that take account of your availability. This allows you to combine work with your other responsibilities such as childcare, attending higher education or enjoying an active retirement.

• Opportunity to gain valuable experience and learn new skills.
  Work Service provides thousands of workers to fill hundreds of positions at more than 2200 employers in dozens of industries. You can find the challenges that suit you best. Temporary work enriches your resume and will be a real asset in future job searches.

• Opportunity for permanent employment.
  The user employer often considers temporary work as part of the probationary period. Currently 20% of our temporary placed employees find full time employment with the user employer.

• Additional earning opportunity.
  Temporary work flexibility enables you to generate additional income regardless if you are a student, retiree or have an existing full time job.
