Temporary agency workers in Switzerland earn the same as their directly employed colleagues, according to a report by Swiss Staffing.
The report, which analysed data from the Swiss Labour Force Survey, found that temporary agency workers earn significantly more than direct employees on a limited contract and work less overtime, but are more likely to be financially compensated for it.
“Temporary workers' working conditions withstood comparison with those of hiring companies, and in some areas temporary workers are even significantly better off,” Swiss Staffing noted. “The staff leasing sector successfully combines flexibility with social security and offers flex workers a fair, secure framework.”
According to the Swiss Labour Force Survey, 76% of Swiss employees often or sometimes work overtime. However, temporary workers were required to work longer hours less frequently (28%) than direct employees (38%). They were also more likely to be monetarily compensated for their overtime than direct employees.
“Temporary workers are therefore significantly better off as regards overtime than people employed directly by their employer – in terms of both the amount of extra work undertaken and the compensation received for it,” the study stated.
The table below shows how agency workers, employees on direct payroll, and those who are self-employed get compensated for their overtime based on weighted data of the Swiss Labor Force Survey.
Swiss Staffing stated, “Temporary workers enjoy stronger protections than the self-employed, since as employees they are subject to labour and social security law and have access to innovative, tailor-made solutions as regards social insurance and further training. Compared to a traditional employment relationship, temporary work offers greater flexibility to both employers and employees. Targeted relaxation of the Swiss Law on Employment Recruitment could even more effectively ensure a secure framework for staff leasing in the context of an increasingly flexible working world.”
