The challenge our client faced

Our client, a large biopharmaceutical, was employing temporary staff consistently on a long-term basis. With the maximum employment duration to mitigate co-employment risk 18 months (with a 6-month extension) for temporary staff, these employees had to be released and a new group hired and trained. Our client grew uncomfortable with this arrangement because:

This repeated cycle was a drain for client employees who were repeatedly training new groups of temporary staff.
Without full-time status, temporary employees had little in the way of benefits.

Our solution to their problem

Because Eurofins PSS Insourcing Solutions® is a co-employment compliant programme, we are able to stay on-site as long as our client needs. We hire full-time employees to work in client environments, which means PSS® staff will enjoy the same comprehensive benefits as our employees working in fixed Eurofins laboratories.

These benefits include paid time off, career advancement, bonuses, and essentially all the perks of being a Eurofins employee.

The results

To begin with, PSS® successfully transitioned 10 temporary employees at this large biopharmaceutical company, building the on-site team to more than 100 PSS® employees. Globally, this strategic relationship has resulted in over 200 PSS® employees supporting a wide range of technical areas.
