In certain European countries, it is mandatory for agencies and/or umbrella companies to possess a specific labour leasing license in order to legally lend their candidates to end user without the end user becoming the official employer of the contracted employee. These countries include Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium, which require the AUG, SECO, and Interim licenses respectively. Access Financial holds these licenses, which sets us apart from other local companies operating in these regions.
In Germany, an AUG (Arbeitnemeruberlassung) License is a must-have requirement for companies wishing to hire foreign contractors. Non-compliance with AUG labour leasing regulations is a serious offence and can end in unfavourable consequences for all parties involved. Which means that if you are working as a contactor in Germany, it is of utmost importance to do everything by the book.
The AUG license is a great method for companies in Germany to offer temporary employment and avoid the cost and complexity of hiring a formal full-time employee.
Another thing an AUG license does, is put forward labour laws that allow for certain benefits for contractors on par with official employees, such as equal pay, up to 30 days of paid holidays, paid sick leave, and tax-deductible expenses. Also, since it is mandatory for any type of workers in Germany to have health insurance, companies with an AUG license will contribute for you to public health insurance, or alternatively pay you an allowance so you can obtain personal health insurance from an approved supplier instead.
