As the trend for flexible working continues to increase in today’s employment market, more than tripling in size over the last decade alone, temporary workers now occupy a distinguished place in the corporate world. Temporary employment is no longer perceived as second best, with permanency rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
As new legislation comes into effect regarding increased holiday and minimum wage entitlements for all employees, staff contracted temporarily should automatically qualify for these benefits.
Sewell Moorhouse, believes in the importance of every temporary worker it employs. If every candidate recruited by our Secretarial division is satisfied with the benefits we offer, the end result is a more dedicated and productive workforce. We will, therefore, ensure that all of our temporary personnel receive the new minimum wage and 24 days paid holiday per year (inclusive of all public holidays), effective from 1st October 2007.
Temping offers an array of varied opportunities that a permanent position often cannot deliver. It facilitates increased control over your career, giving you the freedom to expand upon existing skills and gain valuable new experiences. No other system of working will afford you the luxury of seeking out the perfect career path, whilst selling your own unique services to the highest bidder!
In fact, for many temporary workers, it is not uncommon to achieve higher salaries than that of permanent long-term employees. Neither are you restricted by the shackles of a rigid 9-5 existence, instead having the option to choose your own hours of working.
For employers too, temporary working has considerable advantages. Relatively high-level appointments, requiring years of extensive experience, may easily be made without having to undertake a time-consuming selection process. Contracts may last anything from a few hours or days, to several months at a time. A temp who is found to fit in well with a company may be offered a full-time position, or conversely, may be quickly referred back to the agency for replacement.
With almost 1.2 million temporary workers now assigned to companies nationwide, now is the time to start taking the option of temporary employment seriously. Sewell Moorhouse works assiduously on behalf of its clients to find candidates that will meet and exceed expectations.
