Outstaffing of cleaners

Outstaffing is the process of the transfer of personnel management to a reputable contractor. They register the staff and pay the salary. After that, the employees are assigned to the customer’s facilities and also perform their regular functions at their former workplaces. This alters radically the official form of relations between the enterprise and the staff, but preserves the informal ones.

The outstaffing of cleaners is an opportunity to rearrange the process of managing cleaning personnel and involves a professional business partner. The contractor uses the services of cleaners to maintain cleanliness in the office, as well as the industrial and warehouse premises, engaging them to work according to the terms of the subcontracting agreement.

Benefits of outstaffing

Delegating the responsibilities of personnel management to the contractor provides a number of benefits to the company:

• Employees are engaged according to the terms of the subcontracting agreement. The enterprise is provided with the skilled cleaners, but they are maintained by the agency;
• Reduction of permanent staff. The number of company employees is reduced, because they are registered with another organization;
• Reduced burden on the company’s departments. Since the contractor undertakes the responsibilities of HR administration, the company’s labour resources are no longer required to solve minor tasks;
• Reduction of ongoing costs. Multiple calculations for each employee are replaced with periodical payments to the outstaffer on a contractual basis. Decreased number of employees leads to a reduction in the Labour Compensation Fund (LCF), and hence, to a reduction in tax and social deductions;
• No problems with employees. If the violations of labour legislation are identified in the course of an inspection by the public services, the fines are charged to the contractor. The outstaffer settles all the disputes in case of disagreements with the cleaners
• Guarantee of the result. The contractor is personally interested in the quality performance of duties by the employees since he receives payment upon the provision of services; therefore, he thoroughly monitors the work of employees.

Outstaffing of cleaners provides the company with a direct benefit. In addition to the above benefits, the enterprise also receives an opportunity to allocate the freed up resources towards the improvement of core business performance. As a result, the profitability of the company increases!
