Temps in the Business World

Paper Summary:

"Temps" as used in this paper is as an abbreviation for "temporary" workers, a phenomenon of the world business scene, which is growing at a consistent rate. This paper looks at the change in the use of office temps where originally the concept of hiring a temporary was to provide a "fill in" for a permanent employee who was absent for reasons such as illness, emergency leaves and vacations. To support the argument, the writer provides statistics and opinions that show the increasing use of temps as a more permanent part of the business world.

From the Paper:

"Although the per hour charge from the temp agency might be greater than the regular per hour wage paid a regular full-time employee, the ancillary savings in company benefits usually makes up for that difference. Mangum, Mayall, and Nelson's 1985 study (still quoted today) was one of the first to note that "the savings from reduced employee benefit costs is often substantial. A positive relationship between average fringe benefit level and the ratio of temporary to total employee use was found in a large number of organizations."
