Staff Outsourcing Services
Operate without managing your workforce HR and compliance
- Law Firm Backed
- Termination Complexity Solved
- Permanent + Seasonal + Ad-Hoc
You have permanent staff, seasonal peaks, and ad-hoc project needs. Iberia employs everyone on Iberia books - we handle HR, payroll, compliance, and termination. You direct the work. You do not deal with the legal risk that European employment law creates.
What is Staff Outsourcing?
Staff outsourcing is the delegation of your workforce to an external employer. You have people who work for your business - permanent staff, seasonal workers for peaks, specialists for projects. Iberia becomes the legal employer of all of them. You continue to direct their work, set roles, manage performance. Iberia handles employment contracts, payroll, social security registration, HR administration, and the compliance risk if something goes wrong. You get workforce flexibility without becoming an employment law expert.
STAFF OUTSOURCING
Why Staff Outsourcing matters?
European employment law does not allow at-will termination. Firing requires documented grounds, notice periods, severance calculations, and exposure to unfair dismissal claims if executed incorrectly. Most companies either hire HR staff to manage this (1,500-2,500 EUR/month overhead) or muddle through and pay fines when they get it wrong.
Then there is seasonal variation. Agriculture, retail, logistics, hospitality - headcount swings 30-50 percent between peak and off-peak. Scaling up and down without legal friction is nearly impossible if you are the employer of record.
Staff outsourcing solves both. You do not need an HR department. You do not manage terminations. Permanent core, seasonal peaks, ad-hoc projects, all under one agreement, one employer, one compliance responsibility.
Why choose Iberia Workforce for Staff Outsourcing services?
We take on your existing team. You do not restructure.
You already have people working for you. You do not want them on your books anymore - you want someone else managing payroll, contracts, and termination risk. We take them onto Iberia books. Same people, same work, different legal employer. No disruption.
We source the rest. Permanent, seasonal, or ad-hoc.
You need 5 permanent engineers. You need 20 seasonal workers for a peak. You need 1 specialist for a three-week project. We source all of it under one Staff Outsourcing agreement - same contract structure, same compliance, same legal responsibility.
One agreement. Permanent plus seasonal plus ad-hoc. No service juggling.
Unlike temporary staffing (fixed-term deployments) or EOR (new permanent hires), Staff Outsourcing is your ongoing workforce partner. All scenarios covered. No need to bounce between providers or service models.
We carry the termination risk. European employment law complexity becomes our problem.
When someone needs to leave end of season, project completion, performance issue, we handle it. We assess whether grounds are defensible under local law, we structure the termination correctly, we calculate severance accurately, and we defend the decision if challenged. You do not become an employment law expert.
We are run by employment lawyers, not just recruiters or HR coordinators.
Termination procedures, employment classification, compliance risk - these are legal questions. We have in-house expertise to get them right from day one.
9 years at scale. 10,000+ employees managed across Europe.
Built in the UAE, one of the worlds most compliance-heavy employment environments. That operational depth now runs Staff Outsourcing in Spain, with expansion across Europe.

STAFF OUTSOURCING
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Staff Outsourcing and Temporary Staffing?
Temporary staffing is fixed-term. You need 10 workers for August harvest, done. Staff outsourcing is ongoing. You have permanent staff, seasonal peaks, and ad-hoc projects - all under one agreement. We employ everyone. You direct the work continuously, not just for a defined period.
Can we transfer our existing employees to Iberia?
Yes. That is one of the core scenarios Staff Outsourcing solves. You have people. You do not want them on your books anymore. We take them onto Iberia books. Same people, same work, different legal employer. Contract review, payroll setup, social security transition - all handled so the transfer is seamless.
How does seasonal variation work? Do we pay for off-peak months?
Depends on your contract structure. For permanent staff who are part of your core team, yes, they stay on payroll even in slow months (unless you restructure). For purely seasonal workers, they are on payroll only during the peak, we only bill when they are working. Pricing is custom because the mix of permanent vs. seasonal vs. ad-hoc varies per business.
What happens if we need to terminate someone?
Employment law requires documented, justified grounds for termination - not at-will. We manage the exit process. We assess whether the grounds are defensible under local law, we structure the termination to comply with notice periods and severance, we calculate the final payment, and if the dismissal gets challenged, we defend it legally. You do not handle any of this.
Can we use Staff Outsourcing alongside other services?
Yes. You can Staff Outsource your existing team, then use EOR to hire new permanent employees in a country with no local entity. One agreement per service, but they work together because we manage the whole picture.
How is Staff Outsourcing pricing determined?
Custom per scenario. Headcount (permanent, seasonal, ad-hoc), tenure mix, industry, and whether you need Iberia to source workers all affect the cost. We provide a full breakdown before you commit, no hidden line items, no surprise bills.
Is Staff Outsourcing legal across Europe?
Yes. Outsourcing your workforce to a licensed employment provider is a recognized employment structure. The compliance responsibility sits on the provider execution, which is why you need a partner who knows employment law and termination procedures.
