In order to cut costs by up to 55%, some companies are opting to hire outsourced employees. This is because the legal entity does not have labor rights, meaning that the employer does not pay the employee benefits such as the 13th salary, paid vacation and unemployment insurance.
However, in the case of outsourcing, the company has the right to make the requirements only as a Legal Entity and no longer as it would for an employee hired under the Consolidation of Labor Laws.
The company must control the work being done by the PJ and also offer the same transportation services, the same medical or outpatient care that exists in the company and the same food.
Hiring an outsourcer can have its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are the company's savings and also the employee's greater specialization, as it is a company that provides a specific service.
The disadvantages include non-exclusivity on the part of outsourced workers, who cannot clock in or have fixed hours.
If the relationship as a PJ is similar to that of a CLT employee, the company can be sued.
It is always important to have legal assistance in any contract, whether CLT or outsourced.
