already trained Certain jobs are need based so supervision of such
jobs is best left to contract vendors.

Temping can provide scale-up or scale-down during
the upswing/downswing of the economy Temping lowers costs as temp workers have lower
hiring and retiral benefits costs
Temping could be a testing tool to get permanent
employees-even temps aspire for permanent positions In US 90% of unemployment has lessened due to
temping
If temps are paid the same as regular employees bysuitably amending the Contract Labour Act,it couldprovide flexibility to the industry as Trade Unionswould not have to fight for equal treatment of contractstaff

Legal points in the Contract Labour Act createbottlenecks for full use of temping as a strategy-Legalissues remain unsorted.
The multiple clearances from Labour agencies are a
drag on the quick temping processes. The principal employer(who takes the temps) has to
bear the flak if the contractor plays mischief with hisstaff.
Efforts should be made to enforce supervision than
regulation, taking away the permanency claims onprincipal employers and actually penalizing those whoexploit contractual staff and practise unfair labournorms and encourage those who abode by the rules.

The Minimum Wages/PF and ESIC Acts also need to berevisited for which the bureaucracy will have to take anactive part in assimilating the entire mechanism into theIndian System
Another issue is absenteeism without notice by Tempsleading to disruption in routines
The temps should be made to feel valuable, aligned withthe corporate mission & Vision with clear idea of the
goals of the organization. Temp are also volatile so they shift jobs fast therefore
requiring the conversion of employees to core jobs thatare permanent positions.

Provide incentives at par with permanent staff for e.g.distributing service charges from revenue to all.
Give Leave, holidays, medical and hospitalization,transport, cafeteria , celebrating birthdays, marriages

Temping is growing

Business environment is becoming more complex anmdorganizations need to resort to innovative solutions toreduce costs.
In future around 20% of staff will be temps and willneed new HR processes, policies and frameworks
Make temping an end to end activity than only aemployee leasing activity.
A promising road ahead
