Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data from their own 1994-96 survey of human resource managers in Alabama establishments, the authors investigate what determines the use of flexible staffing arrangements in core jobs and how such arrangements affect the job security provided to regular core employees. They find that union representation deterred in-house flexible arrangements, but not subcontracting; the likelihood of subcontracting was positively related to core employees' wages, relative to wages of other similar workers in the industry; and the use of flexible staffing arrangements was positively associated with two factors: core employee hiring costs and a business strategy emphasizing low-cost production (versus, for example, market specialization). They also find evidence that regular core employees gained enhanced employment stability through their employer's use of flexible staffing arrangements to vary labor inputs in core jobs.

Book excerpt: Workers in flexible staffing arrangements - including temporary agency, direct-hire temporary, on-call, and contract workers - are much less likely than regular, direct-hire employees to be covered by laws mandating or regulating workplace benefits. Workers in such arrangements, in turn, are much less likely to receive pension, health insurance, and other benefits on the job. This paper documents these differences in coverage by benefits regulations and differences in benefits receipt. The paper also reviews evidence on the incentives employers have to use workers in these various flexible staffing arrangements. Although reducing benefits costs is not the only reason employers use flexible staffing arrangements, it is an important factor motivating many employers to use them, and the level of and growth in these arrangements would be lower in the absence of this incentive.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports new evidence from a survey of over 408 U.S. employers concerning their use of temporary and on-call workers. More than 90 percent of responding organizations reported reliance on these flexible staffing arrangements. They accounted for an average of 1.5 percent of total labor input at user organizations during 1985; at some organizations, they accounted for 10 percent or even 20 percent of total labor input. Four-fifths of survey respondents indicated that flexible staffing arrangements play an important role in absorbing workload fluctuations. Moreover, organizations with highly seasonal or highly cyclical demand made significantly greater use of flexible staffing arrangements during 1985 than organizations with less seasonal or less cyclical demand. The use of flexible staffing arrangements appears to be a more important component of employers' short-term adjustment strategies than has previously been recognized
