When do you receive your salary as a temp worker?

As a temp worker, you are paid every week, usually the week following the one in which you worked. The day you receive your salary varies depending on the temp agency, but it often falls in the second half of the week.

Unlike permanent workers who are paid monthly, temp workers receive their salary on a weekly basis. However, before your salary is paid, the temp agency must first verify your work hours.

Verification of work hours

The agency contacts the client company to confirm the number of hours you actually worked and when. Although these hours are listed in your contract, it doesn’t necessarily mean you worked exactly that number of hours. There may be slight variations, and it is crucial that you are paid for the time you actually worked. This verification takes place at the beginning of the week following the one during which you worked.

Once all the work hours are validated, the temp agency proceeds with paying your salary. If you notice any errors on your payslip or if you think there’s an issue with your payment, it’s important to contact the temp agency as soon as possible to resolve the situation.
