What is temporary work?
Different industries refer to temping in different ways; often it is also referred to as 'freelancing'. In general terms, a temporary worker is someone who is engaged by a company on a non-fixed term basis. The temporary worker's salary is usually calculated on an hourly or daily rate and is paid through the Page Personnel/ PageGroup payroll. No notice period is required to terminate temporary assignments by either party.
Companies engage people on a temporary basis for many reasons including the following:
  • To cover for maternity leave or other absences
  • During particularly busy periods of the year.
  • Assistance with special projects
  • To analyze a temporary worker's performance with a view to permanent employment
