On April 11, a reporter from Sanxiang Metropolis Daily found that Hema Fresh, Changsha Ruizhi Auto Parts Manufacturing Company, Hunan Yimisen Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. and others have tried "shared employees" projects in Changsha, so that citizens who are idle at home can earn work income.

Mr. He’s job responsibilities are to pick up goods, scan codes, load goods, and place hanging chains from store shelves according to user’s online orders within a limited time, which requires sufficient physical strength. "Eight hours a day, shuttle back and forth between the store and the internal warehouse, and you have to walk tens of thousands of steps a day." Mr. He said with a smile that with the help of the "teacher" he mastered the work flow of the sorter in one day, and had to process hundreds of picking orders per day, and his daily income exceeded 200 yuan.
htmlOn April 11, key places such as cinemas, chess and card rooms in Yuelu District that meet the epidemic prevention and control requirements can resume business in an orderly manner. Mr. He and the other seven colleagues happily returned to the barber shop where they originally worked to clean and prepare to officially open the door to welcome guests tomorrow. "The work period of more than 10 days is not long, but it is better than staying at home and not having to pay for money, which alleviates the problem of repaying mortgage and car loans." Mr. He said.Hema Fresh said that in March 2022, after many places in Changsha were designated as medium-risk areas, the brand reached a shared employment intention with three companies in Changsha, covering 7 stores in Changsha; at the same time, Hema Fresh welcomes more theaters, gyms, script killing, and catering companies to join the "shared employee" plan, and the company will provide accommodation and other arrangements based on the employee's situation.
Industry: The "Shared Recruitment Order" provides 100,000 jobs
In fact, in addition to Hema Fresh, many companies have solved the problem of temporary employee shortage through "Shared Employees". This tidal employment model that began to be popular after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020 has extended from the earliest catering and e-commerce industries to the manufacturing field.
"Hunan Walter Technology Co., Ltd. announced that it would switch to production of mask machines and the orders were full. The park matched and reached an "employee sharing" agreement with Changsha Ruizhi Auto Parts Manufacturing Company. The on-the-job employees were originally engaged in equipment assembly. The orders for the Walter mask machine were delivered as scheduled. Ruizhi employees obtained higher income than when they were idle, which is a win-win situation." A relevant person in charge of the Blue Industrial Park of Changsha Economic and Technological Development Zone introduced that many companies in the park have tried to share the form of employee cooperation. The labor expenses and short-term accident insurance underwriting fees are paid by the recruiter, and the social security is paid by the original company.
htmlOn April 3, the Guangfa recruitment order of Huangshan City, anhui Province tea production city, recruited tea pickers from the city. The salary was 170 yuan a day during the construction period of more than 20 days, and round-trip fees were reimbursed for food, accommodation and round-trip fees. The Huangshan Tour Guide Association also issued a "Tea Picking Employee Recruitment Notice", saying that due to the difficulty in normal development of the tourism industry, about 5,000 tour guides in Huangshan City are facing difficulties in their lives. The Huangshan Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau contacted the tour guides to provide tea picking positions.In addition, in early March this year, Dingdong Maicai has released a large amount of shared labor reserve resources and sent them to areas with high order demand such as Xuhui District and Minhang District of Shanghai; Walmart has also recruited part-time positions in Shanghai to provide flexible employment opportunities for temporary closures for enterprises. According to statistics from Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, companies such as Lenovo, SF Express, Meituan Crop Mailing, Hema Fresh and other companies announced that they would open jobs nationwide, providing more than 100,000 temporary jobs for corporate employees.
From a policy perspective, the Changsha Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau issued the "Twenty Policy Measures for Fully Supporting the Fight against the Epidemic in the Human Resources and Social Security Field", and proposed 20 policy measures from five aspects: reducing the labor costs of enterprises and making every effort to stabilize harmonious labor relations. In providing public employment services in all aspects, support enterprises to share employment and resolve structural contradictions in short-term employment.
Views: Flexible employment model opens up new ideas for enterprise employment
Carrying shared employment among enterprises, conducting cooperation on surplus and shortage adjustments, playing a positive role in resolving the contradiction between surplus and shortages of labor, improving the efficiency of human resources allocation and stabilizing employment. Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the "Notice on Implementing a Good Guide and Service for Shared Employment", providing a clearer operating guide for the shared employment of enterprises.
The above-mentioned "Notice" stipulates that the labor relationship between shared employees belongs to the original enterprise; once a work-related injury accident occurs, the original enterprise shall bear the work-related injury insurance liability, and the compensation method may be agreed with the lack of work-free enterprise; after the shared employment cooperation period expires, the worker shall return to the original enterprise, and the original enterprise shall promptly accept and arrange; for relevant provisions on illegally carrying out labor dispatch and evading labor dispatch in the name of shared employment, the corresponding legal responsibility shall be pursued in accordance with the law.
"The shared employee model can help employees return to society, alleviate income pressure, realize self-worth and social value. For enterprises, it can reduce the economic pressure of the original enterprises and save the cost of recruitment and training for employees." Qiu Zhijun, deputy director of Wugang 23 Metallurgical Zhixing Academy and member of Hunan Provincial Vocational Guidance Expert Group, believes that under the phenomenon of "slow employment", this model has also become a new choice for fresh graduates, and may become an employment trend in the future.
Qiu Zhijun gave an example, saying that Beijing foreign companies, Shanghai foreign service companies, Hunan local enterprises Xianghui Human Resources, and BBK Group's LEGO Human Resources are all trying to build flexible employment platforms to meet the short, flat and fast employment needs of enterprises. "During the epidemic, for platform-based employment companies with difficulty in recruiting people and large personnel needs, the flexible employment platform can ensure that enterprises can effectively protect the rights and interests of employees while serving customers."
