Advantages of Temps

Kim Dalton(OU) - Wednesday, September 24, 2008
 

Temporary work is based on a non-fixed term and can last for any length of time, they are often needed in times of staff absence and maternity, to boost productivity at busy times, for particular projects and to analyse employee performance with a view to permanent employment 'try before you buy'.

There are a number of advantages in using temporary agency employees-"temps" as they're commonly called-including:

  • As a company, you are spared the effort and expense of locating, hiring and training employees who will be there for a limited number of weeks or months. (This fulfilment of fluctuating needs is one of the strongest reasons for using temporary workers) Employees trained in certain specific occupations can be used to cover critical vacancies until the company can successfully recruit to fills its needs.
  • These trained individuals can also be used to cover for illnesses, vacations and leaves of absence.
    You can take on a temp when workloads are high and not have to worry about keeping them on should the work dry up.
    Although the company pays a premium--the rate paid to the agency for a temp includes the person's pay and benefits and the agency's profit--this alternative can be more economical than paying overtime premium to regular staff to cover a short-term need.
  • It's not necessary to be concerned with the details of payroll and benefits; in fact, an entire crew of temporaries from the same agency can be covered by a single payment to the agency every week or two.
