The Employee Leasing Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Ireland that require flexible workforce solutions through temporary staffing arrangements. This document is specifically designed to comply with Irish employment law, including the Protection of Employees (Temporary Agency Work) Act 2012 and related legislation. It is commonly used when companies need to quickly scale their workforce, access specialized skills, or manage seasonal fluctuations without directly hiring employees. The agreement comprehensively addresses the triangular relationship between the leasing agency, client company, and leased employees, covering critical aspects such as employment terms, workplace rights, health and safety obligations, data protection, and payment arrangements. This document is particularly relevant in the current Irish business environment, where flexible staffing solutions are increasingly important for maintaining competitive advantage and operational efficiency.
