Labor hire is an arrangement in which a third party company provides temporary or contract workers to a business. This is a common practice in Australia and can be particularly useful for businesses who require extra staff to fulfil specific projects, or at certain times of year (such as during seasonal demand or a yearly audit). Unlike independent contractors, labour hire employees are directly employed by the management agency, and their contracts of employment are usually subject to the same worker entitlements as permanent employees of the client company (e.g. minimum wage, superannuation).

Professional Contact our labour hire team agencies can provide skilled employees to meet a wide variety of workforce needs. From apprentices and trainees to senior project professionals, a labour hire agency can be the ideal solution for businesses looking to outsource their casual or temporary workforce needs.

Warehouse Labour Hire: Flexible Staffing for Busy Operations

Depending on the specific requirements of the job, a labour hire employee may be required to work outside the company’s regular office hours. This arrangement can be particularly beneficial for organisations with unique work environments that are not suited to traditional office working conditions, such as construction sites or warehouses.

The labour hire industry is regulated across different countries and regions. In Europe, the Temporary Agency Work Directive (2008) guarantees that people employed through an agency are treated equally to permanent employees. In the US, labour hire is commonly known as ‘labour contracting’ or ‘permatemping’. In Australia, a number of licensing regimes exist to govern the conduct of labour hire companies.
