Temporary work or a mandate contract — which to choose
The two most common ways to staff through an agency, and what each means for your company.
Companies staffing through an agency usually choose between temporary work and a mandate contract (umowa zlecenie). Both let you grow a team quickly, but the rules differ.
Temporary work
The worker is employed by the agency and assigned to your company. One person can work for the same user employer for up to 18 months within any 36 months.
Mandate contract
More schedule flexibility and a faster start. The statutory minimum hourly rate applies, and the agency keeps the record of hours.
Which to choose
For steady, predictable demand — temporary work. For seasonal peaks and short orders — a mandate contract. A LogiOne coordinator will help match the model to the project.
