The difference is in security, rate, and responsibility.

Temp hourly wage (temp work)

  • You receive a gross hourly wage via an employer.

  • Taxes and contributions are automatically deducted.

  • You build up holiday pay and have more social security.

  • The hourly wage is often lower than a freelance rate, but offers more security.

Freelance hourly rate

  • You set your own hourly rate, which is usually higher.

  • You’re responsible for tax and financial risks yourself.

  • Via YoungOnes you’re insured during your gig with ONSI (such as liability).

  • Your invoice is automatically generated for you.

In short: with temp work you choose more security, with freelance you choose more freedom and a higher rate, with more personal responsibility.
