An agency worker is an employee who is hired through an employment agency or staffing firm to work on temporary assignments or projects for client companies. Agency workers may be deployed to fill short-term staffing needs, cover employee absences, or support special projects or seasonal demands.
As employees of the staffing agency, agency workers may receive benefits such as access to healthcare, retirement plans, and other perks. However, they may also experience uncertainty regarding job security, fluctuating work assignments, and limited opportunities for career advancement compared to permanent employees.
