[Germany] Expansion of contracting and accounting firm Sapphire

Sapphire - a UK-based contracting and accounting firm - has announced its expansion into the German market with the introduction of a comprehensive AUG (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) licenced payroll solution, TheBusinessDesk reports.

This new offering forms part of Sapphire’s growing international division. It launched in 2023 to support recruitment agencies and businesses navigating increasingly complex recruitment landscapes across Europe.

Germany’s regulatory environment can present significant challenges for companies seeking to engage temporary workers. 

Sapphire’s AUG service reportedly allows recruitment agencies and end clients to confidently hire temporary workers in Germany, ensuring they meet the country’s strict legal requirements. By reducing the risk of severe penalties associated with worker misclassification and illegal engagement of temporary workers, Sapphire’s solution is intended to bring peace of mind to agencies operating in Germany.

The service simplifies the process of placing temporary workers by managing all aspects of employment, including tax deductions, social security, and employee benefits. Reducing the administrative burden on recruitment agencies and end clients, allowing them to focus on growing their businesses.

Kris Simpson - head of international at Sapphire - said, “Our expansion into Germany is a natural progression following the successful launch of Sapphire International earlier this year.

“We’ve seen tremendous demand for our international contracting solutions, and our AUG service is tailored to meet the specific needs of the German market. By extending our expertise beyond the UK, we are enabling recruitment agencies and businesses to navigate Germany’s complex employment laws with confidence.”
