Temporary employment (or "interim" or "temping") operations consist in temporarily providing client companies with employees who, in return for an agreed payment, are employed and paid to that effect by the temporary employment company (or temping agency).
They are therefore characterised by a three-way relationship between the temporary employment company, the client company and the employee, and involve the signature of two contracts: a labour supply contract (between the temporary employment agency and the client company) and an assignment contract (between the temporary employment agency and the employee).
Employees temporary working are described as "Intérimaires".
