Outsourcing Loading and Delivery: How is it different from outsourcing labor?

What is outsourced loading, unloading and delivery service?

Outsourced loading, unloading and forwarding services are a form of business assigning part of the logistics work to a service provider, including loading, unloading, unloading, internal transportation, warehouse arrangement and delivery. The service provider recruits, manages and pays the workers themselves, while the business accepts the results by volume or shift.

Nhân Kiệt deploys this service to factories, warehouses, distributors and retail businesses, along with sales support personnel. For details, see page Sales support services, loading, unloading, and delivery.

How is it different from labor leasing?

Labor leasing is a form where workers sign a contract with an enterprise that has a leasing license, then work under the management of another enterprise. This form is only applied to jobs in the list specified in Article 30 and Appendix II of Decree 145/2020/NĐ-CP.

This category includes job groups such as interpreters, secretaries, receptionists, sales support, building and factory cleaning, security guards, drivers... The category has "sales support" but does not have loading and unloading jobs. Therefore, sales support personnel can be deployed under labor leasing or service contracts, while loading and unloading and delivery are often deployed under service provision contracts, not labor leasing contracts.

Criteria Loading, unloading and delivery service contract Staff leasing
Employee management party Service provider Enterprises employ workers to run the work
How to accept According to volume, number of shifts or work results According to number of employees and working time
Legal basis Service contract Regulations on labor leasing, limited by job category
Fits Loading and unloading, internal transportation, delivery Jobs that fall under the subhire category, for example sales support

To better understand labor supply and leasing, see the article How are labor supply and labor leasing different?.

What should businesses agree on in the contract?

  • Scope of work: type of goods, volume, location, number of shifts and working hours.
  • Price calculation: by shift, by volume or by month; Amounts included and not included.
  • Acceptance criteria: how to compare volume, number of cases and payment term.
  • Work safety: protective equipment, working rules at the warehouse, responsibilities when accidents occur.
  • Goods: responsibility when goods are damaged, lost and scope of compensation.
  • Personnel replacement: Time to arrange a replacement when someone leaves unexpectedly.

When should you outsource?

Outsourcing is suitable when the volume of goods changes by batch or season, when the business does not want to increase staffing for temporary work, or when it needs to be deployed quickly in many locations. If the work is stable all year round with a large volume, businesses should compare the cost of outsourcing with recruiting themselves.
