how can you stay in compliance with
the German Temporary Staffing Act?
If you frequently rely on flexworkers for your staffing
needs — whether to fill in for seasonal demands or
for long-term projects — it is important that you
understand all the rules and regulations involved
with the Act. As the potential consequences for you
and your agency partners can prove costly, in-depth
knowledge of the Act is paramount to the health of
your organization.
Your first step to complying with the Act is
understanding its requirements. While your in-house
HR teams might be up to the task, they may not have
time to fully commit to ensuring compliance. You do
have additional options, such as enlisting the services
of a Managed Services Provider (MSP).
what is a Managed Services Program
and how can it benefit your company?
As the demand for contingent workers increases
around the world, it is likely that your organization's
HR department is spending a significant part
of its duties devoted to the highly-specialized
responsibilities of working with contingent talent.
Today, HR professionals must also learn the rules
and regulations surrounding each temporary
staffing engagement, in addition to its permanent
workforce requirements.
If your organization relies on contract talent, you
can benefit from implementing a Managed Services
Program (MSP) to help you manage your contingent
staffing needs. Your MSP solution provider will also
help you navigate the complexities of the German
Temporary Staffing Act and its requirements to avoid
hefty fines and other penalties.
In addition, MSPs provide a wealth of advantages to
your organization, including adding greater visibility
and centralized management of your contingent
workforce, providing greater access to high-quality
talent, leveraging HR analytics to predict future talent
needs, and gaining access to proven employer brand
strategies for contingent talent.
The MSP provider works in close partnership with your
in-house HR and procurement teams to understand
your specific staffing needs and business goals as
you navigate the world of flexible talent on an
ongoing basis. MSP solutions can help you manage
contingent hiring from order requisition and supplier
management, through to consolidated invoicing,
reporting and much more.
