About

Temper is a shift-work platform that connects people looking for flexible work (“FreeFlexers”) with businesses that need flexible workers. Workers can create a profile, browse and apply to available shifts across multiple sectors, work on their own schedule, and get paid after a client confirms hours—optionally within minutes via DirectPay. The company positions itself around “Work to live” and building a world where “life works,” emphasizing flexibility, the ability to choose when and where to work, and opportunities to grow by trying different job types and building skills. Temper highlights that its platform offers a large volume of shifts and that FreeFlexers are not tied to an employment agency contract model when working freelance shifts. Temper also offers a contract-based option called Temper Staff, described as providing the platform’s flexibility with additional employment-style benefits such as pension accrual, insurance, and weekly pay. In addition, Temper includes a protection and insurance bundle called FreeSecurity for workers, providing health, accident, and liability insurance plus advisor support at no cost. Operationally, the site indicates European presence (including the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and notes a strategic change in France: Temper decided to close its French office while developing a solution better aligned with an employee contract model for the French market, with the stated intention to return in the future.
