In many companies, there are situations in which additional employees need to be hired, e.g. due to increased production, special orders or seasonal activities. However, temporary employment comes with additional costs for recruiting and retaining an employee. An alternative solution that will help reduce these costs is employee leasing, offered, among m.in, by LeasingTeam. Find out what exactly this service is and what it looks like in practice. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Employee leasing \u2013 what is it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Employee leasing is a form of cooperation based on a relationship between three entities: a company, a temporary employment agency and an employee. A company in need of additional support applies to an employment agency, which, thanks to its resources, allows you to hire employees for a certain period of time or until a specific task is completed. Such a model of cooperation allows for quick replenishment of staff shortages and adaptation of the team to the current needs of the organization. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are different types of employee leasing, and one of the forms is the so-called individual leasing, in which an employee is delegated to another employer. This is done on the basis of granting the employee unpaid leave in order to perform work for the new employer. This involves the employee’s written consent, as they cannot be sent to work without their approval. In this model, the employment relationship in the parent company is temporarily suspended, and the employee gains experience by performing duties in another company for a certain period of time. <\/span><\/p>\n

In practice, this is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Company A, where the employee is employed, comes to an agreement with company B on the conditions under which the employee is to be loaned. Company A shall give the employee unpaid leave, on the basis of <\/span>Art. 1741. \u00a7 1 of the Criminal Code. so that the latter can work for employer B for a certain period of time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Employee leasing and temporary work<\/span><\/h2>\n

The employee lending service does not have any specific regulations in Polish law, except for the previously mentioned article. The phrase “employee leasing” does not appear in any regulations. <\/span><\/p>\n

The situation is slightly different in the case of temporary work. In this form of employment, the provisions of the Act of 9 July 2003 on the employment of temporary workers apply. According to her, temporary work is: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201e[\u2026} performing for a given employer\/user, for a period not longer than specified in the Act, tasks: a) of a seasonal, periodic, ad hoc nature, or b) the timely performance of which would not be possible by employees employed by the employer\/user, or c) the performance of which falls within the duties of an absent employee employed by the employer\/user”*. <\/span><\/p>\n

This act stipulates that an employee may perform services for one employer\/user for a total of 18 months, but for a period that includes the next 36 months. In the case where a loaned employee replaces a person who is permanently employed in a given company, the maximum working time for one employer is 36 months. <\/span><\/p>\n

What does this mean for your business in practice? Although the line between these concepts seems thin, the key is employment flexibility. While the temporary work model is precisely regulated by the provisions of the Labour Code, employee leasing gives more freedom in designing cooperation, taking into account flexible forms of employment. As part of employee leasing, most of the administrative duties remain on the side of the agency, such as HR and payroll services or payment of salaries, which significantly reduces the formalities related to employment. <\/span><\/p>\n
