What is Employee Leasing?
How does employee leasing work?
Employee leasing involves the hiring company entering into a contract with a temporary staffing agency that provides workers for a specified period of time. The agency is responsible for recruiting, hiring and personnel administration of the workers, including payment of wages and contributions. The hiring company uses the services of the workers, but does not bear the direct costs associated with their employment, such as social benefits or training.
Employee leasing legislation
Employee leasing is governed by labor laws, which vary from country to country. In Poland, employee leasing is regulated by the Law on the Employment of Temporary Employees. These regulations specify, among other things, the maximum duration of the contract, the rights and obligations of temporary workers and the rules of cooperation between the agency and the hiring company. It is important that companies using employee leasing comply with the applicable regulations to avoid legal sanctions.
Advantages and disadvantages of employee leasing
Employee leasing has its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages include:
- Flexibility of employment: The ability to quickly adjust the number of employees to meet the company’s current needs.
- Cost reduction: No costs for recruitment, training and social benefits.
- Time saving: The agency handles all the formalities of hiring employees.
The disadvantages of employee leasing are:
- Less control over workers: Workers are formally employed by an agency, which can limit control over their work.
- Risk of employee turnover: Temporary employees may change employers more frequently, which can affect continuity of work.
- Limited employee engagement: Temporary employees may be less engaged than permanent employees.
Step-by-step employee leasing process
The employee leasing process involves several steps. First, the hiring company identifies its staffing needs and contacts a temporary staffing agency. The agency then recruits and selects candidates who meet the company’s requirements. After selecting suitable employees, the agency enters into an agreement with the hiring company, setting out the terms of cooperation. The employees start working for the hiring company, and the agency handles all the formalities related to their employment.
Differences between employee leasing and outsourcing
Employee leasing and outsourcing are two different employment models. Employee leasing involves hiring employees from an agency who work for the hiring company, but are formally employed by the agency. Outsourcing, on the other hand, involves contracting an outside company to perform certain tasks or processes that were previously performed internally. In outsourcing, the outside company is responsible for carrying out the outsourced tasks and managing the staff.
Applications of employee leasing in various industries
Employee leasing is used in many industries, including manufacturing, logistics, retail, services and IT. In manufacturing, employee leasing makes it possible to quickly increase the number of employees during periods of peak demand. In logistics and retail, employee leasing allows flexible personnel management during peak seasons. In IT, employee leasing makes it possible to quickly acquire specialists for short-term projects. With employee leasing, companies can effectively manage their human resources and adapt to changing market conditions.
