Guangdong Midea's labor dispatch staff exceeds 40%, highlighting the employment dilemma of manufacturing industry.

? In response to media reports about unpaid employee social security, Guangdong Midea Environmental Electric Appliance Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongshan Midea") issued a clarification statement on 18. At the same time, the problem of labor dispatch of manufacturing enterprises under high cost has also attracted market attention. Social Security Concerns of Labor Dispatched Employees

In response to media reports that employees pay less than 40% of social security, Zhongshan Midea issued a statement saying that Guangdong Midea Environmental Electric Appliance Manufacturing Co., Ltd. currently has 8,692 employees, including 4,896 employees employed by enterprises and 3,796 employees dispatched by labor. The number of employees in the enterprise is 4 160 (including 3885 local employees in Zhongshan and 275 employees in Shunde), and the employee participation rate of the enterprise is 85%. The remaining uninsured employees are recent employees, and their social security procedures will be handled at the end of this month or early next month. The employees of the labor dispatch company have purchased social security from their company.

Zhongshan Midea also said that the company mainly produces fans and electric heaters in two seasons, with large seasonal differences in employment and high employee mobility. There may be a very small number of employees who have missed buying social security, and the company will further verify it.

"It's a bit like walking a tightrope." A person from a home appliance company in Zhongshan told this reporter that if an enterprise employs workers through a labor dispatch company, and the labor dispatch company fails to pay social security to the workers according to law, then the enterprise can easily wander on the edge of the law.

"We also have some dispatched employees." The home appliance dealer said that there are two main reasons for recruiting workers through labor dispatch: first, enterprises urgently need a large number of workers, and it takes a long time to recruit by themselves. The gap of thousands of workers can be solved through labor dispatch companies in two or three days; Second, some factories that produce seasonal products may only work for a few months and will also cooperate with labor dispatch companies. In the non-production season, the factory does not need to pay for the surplus workers. "There are also regular and' fake' labor dispatch companies. If it doesn't buy insurance for dispatched employees, it will cause trouble. "

This person said that because the registered place of the labor dispatch company is not necessarily in the place where the employer is located, the social security expenses of the labor dispatch employees are not necessarily paid in the place where the factory is located, which increases the difficulty of supervision.

The dilemma of manufacturing enterprises under high cost

A person in charge of a fan manufacturer in Zhongshan told reporters that due to the rising labor and exchange rate costs, Midea's fan manufacturing business has particularly increased the proportion of outsourced production since 2008. Zhongshan Midea used to have more than 40 production lines, but now there are only 10 production lines.

"Fan profit is small, production is seasonal, and employee mobility is high. Labor dispatch is one of the solutions. " The person in charge said that at present, the minimum monthly wage in Zhongshan is 1 100 yuan, so the social security expenses of an employee are calculated according to 290 yuan (including the part paid by employees), while the wages of front-line workers in Shunde and Zhongshan have reached about 2,300 yuan/month, "the pressure of social security expenses is not small".

Midea's fans sell 30 to 40 million units a year, but the annual net interest rate is only 2%; The net profit of its electric heater is only 5%.

The person in charge said that due to the meager profits, there are more and more cases of dispatching workers through labor services.

Lawyer Liu Jicheng, director of the Labor Law Committee of Guangdong Lawyers Association and deputy director of Guangdong Shenglun Law Firm, pointed out to this reporter that according to the Labor Contract Law, the labor dispatch company is directly responsible for the social security payment of the dispatched personnel, and the employer shall bear joint and several liabilities if it infringes on the interests of the dispatched personnel.

As for the proportion of labor employment, Liu Jicheng said that the Labor Contract Law only puts forward three principles of "temporality", "substitution" and "auxiliary" of labor employment, without detailed judicial interpretation, so it has not stipulated the proportion of labor employment for the time being. Due to the lag of the law, a large number of posts use labor services, and the phenomenon that interests are infringed is widespread. At present, the National People's Congress is stepping up the formulation of relevant legislation on labor dispatch to protect the reasonable rights and interests of labor and employment.
