Labour hire is the term applied (especially in Australia) to provision of outsourced skilled and unskilled blue-collar workers hired for short- or long-term positions. The workers, known as contractors, field employees, temps, on-hired employees or even just employees, are employed by the labour hire organization. They are not employed by the company to whom they provide labour. This is an important distinction for the purposes of Occupational Healthy and Safety (OH&S) purposes, in particular who has legislative responsibility for ensuring a safe working environment. This has been tested in court (see below). A lot of the time builders have their own interpretation of a schedule of rates. ==Pay and charge rates== An essential component of any labour hire organization are the two fundamental concepts of pay and charge rates. The pay rate is the per-hour wage paid to the employees. The charge rate is the fee levied on the client to whom labour is provided. Although this sounds very basic, many factors must be considered when calculating these two items. The following items have a bearing on the determination of pay rates: * Industrial agreements * Statutory on-costs (at state and national levels) * Worker's compensation levies * Comparable pay rates for employees of the clients The following items have a bearing on the determination of charge rates: * Personal protective equipment (PPE) supplied * Payment terms * Superannuation * Payroll tax * Casual loading * Gross margin * Preferred supplier agreements * Competition The gross margin is generally calculated as a percentage value of the pay rate. In certain circumstances, it may be calculated as a specific dollar markup. A schedule of rates is typically quoted to the client which includes * Charge rate for each hour of ordinary time * Charge rate for each hour of overtime (typically time and a half, double time, double time and a half) * Charge rate for applicable allowances which will be paid to the employee in various circumstances (most commonly meal allowance, but also crib allowance, travel allowance, laundry allowance, plus various industry-specific allowances - for example, an additional amount per hour for working with wet/dirty hanging birds in the poultry sector.) The charge rates for physical hours of time (ordinary plus overtime) are typically quoted for the position at discrete classification increments, for example, level 1, level 2, etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Labour hire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
