WHAT IS STAFF LEASING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Staff leasing refers to the situation in which employees work for a company other than the one with which they have concluded an employment contract. All forms of staff leasing have in common that there is a triangular relationship between the employer (lender), the company using the staff (so-called hirer) and the employee (see figure).
The central role is played by the personnel service provider (Hays) as the lender. We have permanent employees whose work we "lend" to companies (hirers) for a certain period of time. Contracts are concluded both between the employees and Hays and between Hays and the company (hirer). The employees and the user company do not conclude a contract. The temporary workers merely provide services for the company.
There are various forms of personnel leasing, which we explain in more detail below:
In temporary work, workers are hired only to be loaned out. The company that hires out the worker does not itself have its own production or service operation. A separate employment contract is concluded for each assignment.
Temporary agency work involves hiring workers with the aim of lending them out to companies that use them. The company that hires the workers usually also has its own business where it deploys the employees. An employment contract is concluded for a specific period of time, which is independent of the individual assignments.

In the case of occasional leasing, employees are not hired with the aim of providing labour. The work is only made available to other enterprises in exceptional cases, e.g. to help out in another enterprise during the high season or to bridge a drop in turnover in one's own enterprise. No special permission is required for occasional hiring out.

In principle, the intra-group hiring out of personnel is subject to authorisation. However, there are exceptions, e.g. if the purpose of the loan is exclusively the acquisition of specialist knowledge, language skills or the transfer of know-how within the group.
Staff leasing is classified as commercial if it is carried out on a regular basis and for profit.

THE ADVANTAGES OF PERSONNEL LEASING
It is a common misconception that the use of personnel hire or temporary work is only a stopgap solution - for when it is not possible to find permanent employees. However, the reality is different. The modern working world is changing and the model of professional personnel hire is proving to be extremely beneficial for many companies.
As a company, you benefit from the following advantages of personnel hire, among others:
- Flexibility: With personnel hire or personnel leasing, you can react quickly and flexibly to changes in your company. You can cover seasonal peaks or carry out short-term projects without making long-term commitments.
- Time saving: By working with a recruitment agency such as Hays, you can significantly reduce the amount of time you spend looking for staff. Hays takes care of the entire recruitment and selection process.
- Access to qualified professionals: With Hays, you have access to a large pool of qualified professionals. This is particularly advantageous in industries with a shortage of skilled workers.
- Cost control: With personnel hire, you only pay for the work actually performed. This allows you to better control and plan your staffing costs.
- Reduce risks: With personnel hire, you minimise the risks associated with permanent employment, such as protection against dismissal and continued payment of wages in the event of illness.
- Concentrate on your core business: By using staff leasing, you can concentrate on your core competencies and leave personnel management to the experts at Hays.

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONNEL LEASING IN SWITZERLAND?
When personnel are deployed in another company, as is the case with personnel leasing, certain legal provisions must be observed. These include, above all, that the hiring contract between the hiring company and the company employing the staff must be set out in writing. This contract must include the most important details such as the addresses of the hiring company and the licensing authority, the professional skills of the employee, the type of work to be performed, the place of work and the beginning and end of the assignment.
The notice periods, the working hours of the employee and the costs of the placement, including all social benefits, supplements, expenses and fringe benefits, must also be recorded in the contract (Art. 22 Labour Placement Act (AVG)).
If the employing company is subject to a generally binding collective labour agreement (GAV), these provisions must also be complied with by the hiring company. There is a special generally binding CLA for personnel leasing in Switzerland that applies to all personnel leasing companies that have a federal or cantonal leasing permit in accordance with the AVG.
Foreign workers require a valid work and residence permit, which is usually the case for EU and EFTA citizens.
Contractual clauses that require the employee to pay fees, make financial advance payments or withhold wages are not permitted. The same applies to agreements that make it difficult for employees to transfer to the company of assignment after the expiry of the employment contract.
