Four clear steps

    We select suitable candidates and agree them with you.

  3. 03

    Preparing the assignment

    Documents, contact persons, induction and organisation before the first day.

    Ongoing communication

    One dedicated contact person and a quick response to changes and absences.

How we reduce your risks

What frustrates companies most about staffing agencies is unreliability. That is what we focus our work on.

The right people, not “whoever happens to be free”

Before the assignment, we check experience, scanner skills, forklift licence and language. A paid trial shift is possible.

Stable teams

Wherever possible, we deploy the same people at your site – saving you repeated training.

Confirmation before every first shift

We confirm attendance the day before and inform you immediately if anything changes.

Induction in an understandable language

Before the first day, staff receive an introduction in their own language – workplace, procedures, safety rules.

Clear costs

The charge rate is based on the collectively agreed wage. We show you supplements and Equal Pay in advance.

Fair conditions for staff

Contracts and instructions in an understandable language, pay according to collective agreement. This also protects your reputation.

Transparency

How the price is calculated

The hourly rate is calculated from the collectively agreed gross hourly wage (DGB/GVP collective agreements) of the agreed pay group and a charge factor. We agree supplements for night, Sunday and public holiday work as well as Equal Pay with you before the assignment begins. You will receive your individual quote within 24 hours on working days.

  • Licence for Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (temporary agency work)

    Issued by the Agentur für Arbeit Düsseldorf on 22.10.2026.

  • Collective agreements

    We apply the DGB/GVP collective agreements – we agree supplements and Equal Pay with you before the assignment begins.

  • Verified work permits

    We only deploy people who are allowed to work in Germany: EU citizens and Ukrainians with a residence permit under § 24 AufenthG.

  • Documents on request

    A copy of the licence as well as clearance certificates (Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigungen) from health insurance funds, the employers' liability insurance association (VBG) and the tax office.

Frequently asked questions from companies

What is the difference between Arbeitnehmerüberlassung (temporary agency work) and Direktvermittlung (direct placement)?

With temporary agency work, ProLinea remains the employer; you receive flexibly deployable staff and pay an hourly rate. With direct placement, you hire the person yourself and pay a one-off fee. Agency work suits fluctuating demand, placement suits permanent positions – or you can combine both with the take-over option.

How quickly can you provide staff?

Within 24 hours on working days you will receive a written quote with a realistic start date. How quickly the assignment can start depends on the number of people, requirements and location – we will tell you openly in the first conversation.

What happens if someone does not turn up or is not a good fit?

You inform your contact person. We arrange a replacement as quickly as possible and swap staff who do not meet your requirements.

Can I increase or reduce the number of staff?

Yes. We set the notice periods for changes together in the agency work contract (Überlassungsvertrag).

How is the hourly rate calculated and how does it change?

It is based on the collectively agreed wage of the agreed pay group under the DGB/GVP collective agreements, multiplied by a factor. The rate changes with collective pay increases, supplements and, at the latest, with Equal Pay after nine months of assignment (§ 8 AÜG). We show you this development from the outset.

Can I take staff on permanently?

Yes. We agree the terms in the contract in advance; the take-over fee decreases with the length of the assignment.

Are your staff allowed to drive forklifts?

On request, we deploy staff with a forklift licence. The licence confirms the training; they may only drive independently at your site with written authorisation from your company.

How long may a worker be assigned to us?

As a rule, a maximum of 18 months with the same hirer (§ 1 Abs. 1b AÜG). After that, a take-over is possible, for example.

Which documents do I receive for review?

A copy of our licence for temporary agency work as well as current clearance certificates from health insurance funds, the employers' liability insurance association and the tax office. We check each worker's work permit before the assignment.
