This form of employment solves staffing constraints, greatly reduces the cost of the employer, and is conducive to improving effectiveness and efficiency. Moreover, it can effectively avoid various risks caused by workers' uncertainty. When the employer is short of people, how many people are missing, and which people are missing, it only needs to follow the order. The employer only needs to write a check, and other matters such as salary payment, welfare payment, various insurance payments, etc. are all handled by the labor dispatch agency, saving labor, time, and worry. For dispatched employees, the employer can quickly identify some talented people based on their personal performance, and focus on training them, or start a small business to transform these labor workers into long-term employees of the employer, realizing the sustainable use of human resources. develop.

The responsibilities that own employees should bear; there are also many labor dispatch organizations that operate irregularly, extract a high proportion of management fees from labor workers' wages, and even withhold wages owed to labor workers and fail to pay them social insurance; there are even individual labor dispatch organizations and individuals collude to engage in multi-level labor dispatch or labor transfer, etc.
