Labor dispatch, also known as manpower dispatch and talent leasing, is a form of employment in which labor dispatch agencies sign labor contracts with dispatched workers, dispatch workers to other employers, and then employers pay service fees to dispatch agencies. It was born in America in the 20th century. This form is mostly implemented in temporary, auxiliary or alternative positions, which is beneficial to employers to reduce recruitment costs and training costs.
Generally, with the approval of the labor and personnel departments of provinces and cities, professional human resources service companies can be established. Its main business includes human resource outsourcing, human resource dispatch, providing talent supply information for enterprises through recruitment network, and providing job registration and recommendation for individuals. At the same time, it also provides enterprises with agency job fairs and legal and regulatory advice. Labor dispatch is generally implemented in temporary, auxiliary or alternative jobs. Article 66 of the Labor Contract Law clearly stipulates that "labor contract employment is the basic employment form of Chinese enterprises. Labor dispatch is a supplementary form and can only be implemented in temporary, auxiliary or alternative jobs. " However, many employers carry out labor dispatch in positions of various types of work and various durations, and even use a large number of labor dispatchers in their main business positions. With the implementation of 1995 Labor Law, the dual employment system of "regular workers" and "temporary workers" has been abolished in China. The abuse of labor dispatch has led to a new dual employment system. After the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, a new dual employment system of "regular employees" and "dispatched workers" appeared. In the employing unit, dispatched workers undertake front-line work and make the most direct contribution to the development of the enterprise, but they become' second-class' employees. Now there is a strange phenomenon' reverse scheduling'. After the implementation of the Labor Contract Law, some employers require formal contract workers to sign dispatch contracts with labor service companies and then send them back to their original jobs. Labor dispatch has become a way for some employers to evade the responsibilities of employers stipulated in the Labor Contract Law.
