Abstract
The aim of the work is to present the history of creation, development and systematic increase of its popularity. In addition, an attempt was made to determine whether the temporary work institution fulfills a positive role in the economic reality. After that, the essence and efforts of the legislator were presented to provide temporary employees with the same terms of employment as in the case of a “typical” employment relationship. This paper also presents the results of the latest research related to each of the three entities appearing in temporary work. On this basis, the advantages, disadvantages, potential chances and threats for this form of employment are listed. In the further part of the work, each entity was characterized, referring to the specific legal structure of temporary work. What’s more, who is the actual employer of the temporary worker and the consequences that this entails. In addition, the legal ties connecting subjects have been described, their rights, obligations and their distribution to individual participants of this employment relationship have been analyzed. The broad analysis referred to the changes that resulted from the amendment of the act on the employment of temporary workers, which took place on June 1, 2017.
