Are expatriates regular employees?

No, the labor dispatch system is not a regular employee (belonging to the dispatch company), but a regular employee with contract system is a regular employee.

The difference between labor dispatch and regular employees

1, the concept is different: dispatching workers means that the employer cooperates with the labor service company, and the labor service company will send personnel to work in the cooperative employer; Formal work refers to the formal labor contract signed by the employer with employees after they are hired in the form of recruitment.

2. The labor relations between them are different: the dispatched workers belong to the labor dispatch company and enjoy the employee benefits of the dispatch company; Regular workers are employees of employers.

3. Labor contracts are signed by different parties: dispatched workers sign labor contracts with labor dispatch companies, and regular workers sign labor contracts with employers.

4. The post nature of the two is different: the dispatched workers are generally temporary and auxiliary posts, and they are generally only responsible for fixed posts, while the regular workers are in accordance with the positions agreed at the time of recruitment, and can also be transferred and rotated according to the company's development and employees' personal wishes.

To sum up, expatriates are not regular employees, and the two are not the same concept.
