What is a contract worker?

Contract workers, also known as contract workers, refer to short-term workers recruited by various enterprises and institutions through signing contracts. The signed contract is generally in written form, including time limit, tasks and various obligations to be observed.

In addition, there is another form of employment in enterprises at present, that is, labor dispatch workers, whose nature and characteristics are "temporary, auxiliary and substitutive". They do not belong to the formal employees of the employer, but the employees of the labor dispatch company are temporarily leased by the employer.

The reform process of contract workers:

All kinds of workers recruited after the reform of employment system in China from 65438 to 0986 are generally contract workers. On July 1986 and 12, the State Council issued the Interim Provisions on Implementing the Labor Contract System in State-owned Enterprises and the Interim Provisions on Recruiting Workers in State-owned Enterprises, pointing out that enterprises should recruit workers in perennial positions within the indicators of the national labor wage plan, and the labor contract system should be uniformly implemented unless otherwise stipulated by the state.

Enterprises employ contract workers on the principles of open recruitment, voluntary registration, comprehensive assessment of morality, intelligence and physique, and merit-based employment. The state implements a social insurance system for workers' retirement and pension under the labor contract system. Retirement pension funds are paid by enterprises and employees who sign labor contracts. When the retirement pension is insufficient, the state gives appropriate subsidies.

The purpose of implementing the contract system is to break the iron rice bowl and pot rice and truly implement distribution according to work.
