Temporary Staffing in Eastern Europe for Production & Manufacturing
Many German industrial companies have been facing a shortage of skilled workers for years. In addition, companies are facing ever-rising labor costs. This can, of course, be expensive and have a negative impact on efficiency and productivity. That is why more and more companies are opting to hire skilled workers from Eastern Europe through temporary staffing agencies.
We place vetted personnel from Eastern European countries such as Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Croatia, and Ukraine. These countries are known for having a well-educated workforce. Temporary workers from Eastern Europe are generally very young and willing to work abroad.
Since wage levels in these countries are lower than in Western Europe, workers from Eastern Europe are willing to work for lower wages. German companies can thus benefit from cost advantages. As far as the quality of work is concerned, you, as the hiring company, do not have to compromise.

When you think of temporary staffing in Eastern Europe, the packaging and shipping sector immediately comes to mind. The logistics industry, in particular, is looking for many employees during peak periods.
The average salary for a production assistant is 34,506 euros per year—which is about 2,850 euros per month. However, these are gross figures. Income also varies depending on the company, location, and the employee. Salaries are typically higher in larger cities and metropolitan areas.
Companies with fully continuous production pay more, just as larger companies often offer better salaries than smaller ones. Employees with more experience and qualifications can also expect higher pay. In addition, there are premium pay for shift work, weekend work, and work on holidays.
Minimum Wage in Manufacturing
The minimum wage in manufacturing is 12.82 euros gross per hour. As of January 1, 2025, this wage is the statutory minimum wage. This means that wages cannot be lower than this amount. However, employers may exceed this amount and offer higher wages.
Companies are subject to the Temporary Employment Act. This law sets forth the conditions under which temporary workers from Eastern Europe are permitted to work in Germany. If these conditions are violated, the company faces legal consequences.
The European Union has very clear regulations regarding the posting of workers to other countries. These regulations cover, for example, working conditions as well as the minimum wage. Furthermore, the company is required to ensure the health and safety of all employees and to comply with applicable occupational safety regulations.
