What Is Temporary Employment (Uitzenden)?
Temporary employment is a staffing arrangement where an agency employed worker performs work for your organization. Undutchables issues the temporary employment contract, manages payroll and ensures all legal, administrative and compliance obligations are met.
Assignments typically follow the ABU or NBBU phase system, such as Phase A or Phase B, with clear rules regarding duration, hours and end dates. This model is widely used by organizations that need flexible staffing, fast deployment and dependable administrative support.
What Is a Temporary Hire?
A temporary hire is a worker who is employed by a temporary staffing agency but works at a client organization for a defined period. The agency manages payroll and compliance, while the client oversees daily tasks and responsibilities.
Who Is Temporary Staffing For?
Temporary employment is a strong fit for organizations that need:

- Fast placement of operational, administrative or specialist roles
- A partner to handle payroll, compliance and employment administration
