Personnel outstaffing is a form of interaction with employees, in which permanent employees are removed from the staff and attached to the staff of the contractor's company. From the moment the employees leave the company, all the obligations of the employer are assigned to the outsourcer company.
How it works
Work with an outstaffing company is carried out according to a standard algorithm.
-
The customer organization seeks help from the contractor company.
-
An initial audit is carried out, after which all documents are transferred to the outsourcing company.
-
An agreement is being formed for the withdrawal of employees from the state.
-
Signing a lease agreement.
-
On a monthly basis, the customer company is obliged to pay for the work of the outstaffer, as well as its own bills.
-
The contractor also undertakes to pay wages to the workers on a monthly basis.
In addition, a full-time lawyer will provide support for the customer at all meetings with regulatory authorities.
Why is it beneficial
The main advantage of using the outstaffing form of interaction with workers is the simplification of standard processes in the field of accounting, personnel and tax support. In addition, this reduces the likelihood of errors in document management.
The fact is that personnel outstaffing allows you to remove from the customer's company such responsibilities as:
- preparation of personnel, accounting and tax documentation;
- migration registration of employees;
- tax payments;
- responsibility for employees;
- payment of salaries to employees.
If the company wants to expand, then it will be able to maintain a simplified tax regime in any case.
And most importantly, a company that entrusts its workers to an outstaffing recruitment agency can protect itself from sudden visits by inspection bodies.
Even if this happens, then the in-house legal adviser of the recruitment agency will come to the rescue.
In addition, this form of work is beneficial to the employees themselves. The fact is that specialized specialists who have a calculated workload will be engaged in ensuring their legal rights. This allows you to consider each employee in more detail, which means that you can delve into all issues: providing vacation, paying sick leave, or bonus payments.
For foreign citizens, transfer to an outstaffing company is a guarantee of legal stay in the country. The recruitment agency undertakes to monitor compliance with all deadlines for migration registration, submit documents in advance and help with the execution of the full package.
The transition to a contractor company allows employees to be calm, because they will be paid their wages without fail.

The recruitment agency concludes an agreement with each employee. From the moment of signing the contract with the staff, all responsibility for compliance with the legislative rights of employees is shifted to the outstaffing company.
