The employee leasing model therefore differs from conventional permanent employment, firstly because the employees are not directly employed by the company and secondly because it is a temporary relationship.

A contract for work is a type of contract that aims to produce a specific work (hence the name).

Contracts for work and labour are used in various sectors, for example in the construction sector, industry and the skilled trades.
