Definition and classification
Compliance means complying with all statutory, collectively agreed and contractual requirements. For the external workforce this concerns above all the AÜG, social security, occupational safety and checking providers' records.
Compliance is not a one-off check but a continuous state: licenses, records and deadlines change constantly and have to be monitored on an ongoing basis.
What compliance risks are there with an external workforce?
The central risks include Secondary liability for social security contributions, exceeding the maximum assignment period, breaches of Equal Pay and False self-employment and concealed staff leasing. Breaches can lead to fines, back payments and the loss of the license.
How do you automate external workforce compliance?
Manual checks on paper and in spreadsheets are error-prone and only ever a snapshot. Effective compliance checks licenses, Records and deadlines continuously and warns automatically before something expires. Pactos takes that on as a neutral third party – with a daily check of the temporary staffing license and automated requests for clearance certificates.
