Benefits beyond your salary

Temp agency or permanent: what's the difference?

With Werkvolk, you always apply directly with the employer, never through a temp agency.

Through a temp agency

  • The agency withholds a share of your pay as its fee
  • Limited seniority build-up between assignments
  • Uncertainty over whether your contract gets renewed
  • Often less access to company benefits than permanent colleagues

Directly through Werkvolk

  • Your full salary goes to you, with no intermediary
  • You build seniority and benefits from day one
  • You know the salary and benefits that come with the job upfront
  • Direct communication with the employer, no middleman

Frequently asked questions about this salary

Does a flat-roof roofer earn more than a pitched-roof roofer?

Both specializations have their own skills and pay ranges. The difference mostly depends on the vacancy and the sector.

Does working at height count towards the pay?
