temp agency worker

Short-term office fill-in

A temp agency worker is someone employed through a temporary staffing agency rather than directly by the company where they work.

The agency handles hiring, payroll, and benefits while placing workers in short-term or contract positions at client businesses: She started as a temp agency worker but got hired full-time after six months.

The arrangement offers flexibility but typically provides fewer benefits and less job security than permanent employment.
