D2a2 - What is to be understood by temporary work?

Temporary work is based on a triangular relationship, which involves:

• the temporary work agency operator, who is the employer;
• the temporary worker on assignment; and
• the user company.

This triangular relationship involves the conclusion of two concomitant contracts, namely a hiring-out contract concluded between the temporary work agency operator and the user company and laying down the conditions for hiring out of the temporary worker, and also an assignment contract concluded between the temporary work agency operator, the only employer of the temporary worker, and the latter.
