The agency, which acts as an intermediary, is engaged in these services. Thus, the customer company does not have legal relations with the personnel provided.
The scope of work that must be completed, as well as the time, place and salary, are specified in the contract. The hired staff will fulfill its conditions. So, employees officially belong to the state of one company, but in fact temporarily work in another.
Services
The company providing outstaffing services undertakes to provide employees with salaries, the necessary documents, resolve work-related issues, and manage personnel. Usually all this is under the supervision of a manager. It is also possible to provide medical insurance for the employee, provide uniforms and corporate communications, and sick leave.
Most often, outstaffing is used when hiring:
- seasonal workers;
- electricians;
- movers;
- sales representatives;
- workers for recurring projects.
For example, in St. Petersburg there is a warehouse, which only occasionally receives bulk cargo. It makes no sense for an organization to have movers on its staff, so it only hires them from time to time through an outstraffer company.
Benefits
This service helps to a large extent to optimize the activities of the enterprise, as well as reduce costs. So, outstaffing has the following advantages:
- staff reduction;
- unload the work of the HR department;
- reduce staff costs;
- ease of personnel management;
- separation of work responsibilities.
It happens that foreign citizens have the necessary qualifications. And outstaffing makes it possible to hire a foreign employee without tax or labor problems. Sometimes it is possible to transfer almost all staff to work “out of state”. This eliminates the need for a personnel service.
If there are any problems with labor law, both the customer and the outstaffing agency, or only the latter, take responsibility. All questions can be solved by his manager. For these reasons, such organizations are gaining more and more popularity in St. Petersburg.
