What Randstad employees say about their job
-
Best thing
The people I work with
Worst thing
Some weeks I don't get paid on time, the client once approved my time sheet to early I wasn't paid for that week, the cut off time for time sheets is very narrow and relies on the client being able to sign it off within the morning on the Monday or you don't get paid. No sick pay, holiday booking is difficult and the rate for holiday pay is affected by any unpaid leave (sick or childcare issues) we don't have an actual contact person either just a generic email for any issues we have
Randstad Administration, April 2024

Best thing
I like the job. But since I started 4 years ago my pay rate has never changed.
Worst thing
I have a lot of responsibilities but because I am a contractor there is not a person in the company who treats me like a person.
