An Understanding of Contract Staffing
Contract Staffing or Temping is a co-employment relationship between an employer, a staffing company and the employee, wherein the staffing company assumes responsibility for employer obligations related to Recruitment, Payroll & Benefits, Insurance, Statutory Compliance, Employment Taxes, etc.

Temporary workers are employed by staffing companies and sent to work on specific projects or for specified periods of time with their clients. The worker may move from one client site to another depending on the staffing company’s clients. The temporary staffing company is responsible for the salary and benefits of the temporary workers, while it in turn, receives payment from the client.

Although, temp staffing has always existed, it operated in a local, almost informal fashion. Temping was usually routed through small agencies, chartered accountancy firms and locals who were into small-time placements for corporatist. While a permanent, full-time job may still be the norm, labor markets worldwide are changing. The ‘job-for-life’ is being replaced with life-long learning, multi-skilling and a working life with multiple careers and flexible hours.
