What is outstaffing?
Outstaffing (from the English out “out”, staff - “staff”) is the removal of personnel from the company’s staff and their registration in the staff of an outstaffing company. It takes full responsibility for personnel issues, provides employees with the required qualifications and bears full responsibility for the quality of their work.
There are several reasons why it is profitable for a company to use the labor of “rented” workers:
- Reducing the burden on accounting and HR departments
The recruitment agency is responsible for calculating wages, paying “salary” taxes, calculating and paying benefits and vacation pay, drawing up and submitting “salary” reports to the Federal Tax Service, the Social Insurance Fund and the Pension Fund. In case of violations, it will pay penalties and fines, as well as all additional charges. The company itself will remain aloof from all these problems.
The company does not need to involve accountants and HR employees in this. It simply pays a fixed amount for each employee.
- Replacing an employee is not a problem
When outstaffing, the selection and replacement of personnel (during the vacation or illness of the “rented” employee) is carried out by the agency. You won’t have to deal with hiring and firing company employees.
- The issue of employment of foreigners has been resolved
Foreigners are hired according to special rules, violation of which may result in significant fines. With an outstaffing agreement, the agency will check the documents of foreigners and inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the hiring of employees from abroad.
“How to register a foreign worker: step-by-step instructions”
- Fewer labor audits and claims
Labor checks regarding temporary employees will be carried out by the agency, since it is with it that the employment contracts of employees working on outstaffing terms have been drawn up. This means that all questions regarding the registration of labor relations will be addressed to the agency, and it will have to provide documents and explanations at the request of the “trudoviks”.
- The risk of being called to the salary tax commission is reduced
People are invited to salary commissions if the company’s salary is below the industry average in the region. At the same time, if a low-paid employee works on staff, the average salary in the company will be higher, which means that an invitation to a salary commission is unlikely.

Outstaffing of personnel is prohibited, but it can be used
Until 2020, the Labor Code did not have such a concept as “agency labor,” so it was not regulated at the legislative level, and outstaffing workers were a frankly powerless category of workers. For example, the receiving party could at any time refuse an employee hired in this way - without explanation or severance pay. At the same time, the employee himself, hired under an outstaffing agreement, found himself in a very limbo position: he was hired by one organization, and he works for another. In this case, the actual employer does not bear any responsibility.
To rectify the situation and protect the interests of “borrowed” workers, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation was supplemented, which defined agency labor - this is work at the order of the employer in the interests and under the direction of another company - and prohibited its use (Federal Law dated 05.05.2014 No. 116- Federal Law). But the new article did not introduce an unequivocal ban on hiring personnel.
The opportunity to send workers to another employer still exists today. But for this it is necessary to comply with a number of conditions that are prescribed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
More details
Legal regulation of the provision of personnel in Russia and restrictions on agency labor
Russian legislation in matters of leasing personnel has quite strict restrictions. This issue is considered by a number of regulatory documents, which include:
Article 56.1. Establishes an unambiguous ban on the use of agency labor within the framework of labor relations. However, this article also establishes the temporary possibility of providing employees with outstaffing in accordance with the standards of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.- Article 341.1. Regulates the general principles of providing personnel, including the general procedure for payment and the range of persons who can conduct such activities, as well as the specifics of regulating this work under hazardous conditions.
- Article 341.2. Provides specific principles according to which the provision of staff leasing by designated private employment agencies is regulated.
- Article 341.3. Establishes standards for the provision of personnel for rent under an agreement concluded by an employer that is not an employment agency.
- Article 341.4. It discusses the special procedure used to investigate accidents involving employees provided.
- Article 341.5. It involves the receiving party bearing subsidiary liability for the main employer to the employee.
- Law of the Russian Federation No. 1032-1 of April 19, 1991. It regulates employment issues for the population as a whole. But it is also the provisions of this law that establish specific requirements for the use of the system of provision of personnel by employers to perform labor functions for other persons.
The regulatory provisions of the current legislation do not contain the concepts of “outsourcing”, “outstaffing” and, especially, “personnel rental”, since from the point of view of legal standards in the Russian Federation, you can only rent a property object, and not a person.
The general requirements are payment
Temporary staff: who and in what cases?
The provision of employees to another employer can only be temporary – for a period of no more than 9 months. Allowed only in cases where it is:
- Obviously temporary work related to the expansion of production or services.
- Replacement of a temporarily absent staff member.
- Service and assistance in housekeeping for citizens.
In addition, an employment agency can enter into an employment contract with a provision for temporary provision with those who do not plan to work permanently. This:
- full-time students;
- single and large parents raising minor children;
- persons released from correctional institutions.
They are allowed to be sent to the host company in cases where, according to the Labor Code, a fixed-term employment contract can be concluded.
Hiring temporary staff is strictly prohibited in the following cases:
- replacing striking workers;
- performance of work in case of downtime, bankruptcy proceedings, introduction of part-time work in order to preserve jobs in the face of the threat of mass layoffs of workers;
- replacing employees who refused to perform duties, including due to a delay in wages of more than 15 days;
- performing certain types of work at objects of hazard classes I and II (the list of such works was approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 858n, Rostechnadzor No. 455 of November 11, 2015);
- performing work in places where the working conditions are classified as 3rd or 4th degree of hazard or particularly dangerous working conditions;
- replacing those workers whose presence is a condition for obtaining a license, a condition for membership in an SRO or issuing a certificate of admission to a certain type of work;
- performing work as crew members of sea vessels and mixed (river-sea) navigation vessels.
As you can see, it is possible to hire a freelancer, but subject to numerous restrictions.
At the same time, strict requirements appeared for the companies themselves that provide personnel.
Procedure for the provision of services
In this section of the contract, the parties agree on the following conditions: the procedure for selecting workers, the procedure for providing labor to workers, the implementation by the contractor of control over compliance with the rights of workers, the procedure for signing the act of services provided.
Let's consider these conditions in more detail. In the event that the contract provides not only for the provision of labor, but also for the selection of personnel, the parties determine the procedure for the selection. Recruitment may include the contractor's responsibilities for checking information about candidates and transmitting relevant information to the customer. As a rule, we are talking about the passport details of employees, place of residence, level of education, availability of additional education, work experience and length of service.
Please note that the information provided relates to the candidate’s personal data, so their provision is possible only with the written consent of the candidate. In this connection, in the contract for the provision of personnel services, it is advisable to agree on a condition for the contractor to provide the customer with confirmation of the candidates’ consent to the processing and transfer of personal data.
After carrying out the recruitment activities, the contractor transfers information about the candidates to the customer for consideration. The contract must reflect the timing of consideration of candidates, as well as the consequences of violating the deadlines or rejecting all candidates. In particular, the consequence may be the right of the performer to suspend the execution of the contract or the right to refuse to perform the contract. The parties may also provide for the re-selection of personnel by agreeing on the terms and conditions for its implementation.
The next condition that must be agreed upon by the parties in this section of the contract concerns the procedure for providing labor to workers. If the contract does not provide for the selection of personnel, then information about the employees must be provided by the contractor to the customer as part of the fulfillment of the obligation to provide personnel. To do this, the parties determine a list of information about employees that must be transferred to the customer and the procedure for confirming that the contractor has received the employees’ consent to transfer personal data to the customer. In this section of the contract, the mode and working conditions of the involved personnel must be agreed upon. The regime includes an indication of the length of the working week, shifts, breaks, and an indication of irregular working hours. The nature of the work is also indicated (traveling, rotational, etc.)
This section of the contract must reflect the customer’s obligation to ensure safe working conditions. If there is no indication of this obligation, then the contractor has no right to demand that the customer provide safe working conditions for personnel. However, it is advisable to reflect this obligation in a long-term contract, since from January 1, 2020, the customer is obliged to provide safe working conditions for the involved employees. Please note that from January 1, 2020, the possibility of sending workers to perform dangerous and harmful work is significantly limited.
Some work requires providing workers with materials and equipment, work clothes and footwear. In this connection, the contract must determine who bears the relevant costs. As a rule, these costs are borne by the customer. The customer may also be required to provide workers with places to eat, rest, and stay warm. It seems appropriate to reflect in the contract the right of the contractor to control the working conditions of the workers provided to the customer.
The contractor is responsible for the personnel provided, and therefore the contract must reflect the consequences of failure by the contractor’s employees to fulfill the terms of the contract (for example, non-compliance with work schedules, safety violations, etc.). In particular, the consequences of these violations may be the customer’s right to demand a replacement of the employee. An employee can also be replaced at the initiative of the contractor. The right to replace personnel must be reflected in the contract.
The contractor is interested in the customer's compliance with the terms of the contract. In this connection, it is advisable to determine the procedure, timing and frequency of inspections by the contractor of the customer’s compliance with the conditions for the performance by the provided personnel of labor functions defined in employment contracts. Control activities may include inspecting work sites and requesting information about the work being performed.
The results of the provision of services for the selection of personnel and the provision of labor to workers must be properly documented. In the contract, the parties determine the procedure for signing and the content of acts of services provided. Please note that drawing up an act is not mandatory when providing services, but often the act is the only evidence of the provision of services and their volume. In this connection, it is advisable to sign the relevant acts at the end of each stage. Also, acts can be signed at the end of a certain reporting period (for example, a month). The acts must reflect information about the volume of services provided.
Who can provide workers
Not every company can engage in outstaffing. According to the law, only private agencies that have undergone special accreditation in Rostrud and meet the following conditions can provide personnel for rent:
- authorized capital – at least 1 million rubles;
- there are no debts on taxes and contributions;
- The agency's management has a higher education and work experience in the field of employment of at least 2 years over the last 3 years;
- the manager has no criminal record for committing crimes against the individual or in the economic sphere;
- payment of taxes according to the general taxation system (since special regimes are prohibited for them).
The list of accredited agencies is posted on the Rostrud website in the “Open Data” section >.
In addition to employment agencies, some organizations can also provide temporary staff. For example, the parent organization of a subsidiary or a company party to a shareholder agreement - to each other.
Who is responsible for the personnel
Since the main reason for introducing amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation was to protect the interests of workers, the company receiving hired personnel became more responsible for it:
- It is necessary to conclude a special additional agreement with the employee to his main employment contract indicating all the data of the receiving party (there was no such requirement before 2020).
- “Adopted” employees must receive no less than full-time employees of similar positions and qualifications. Despite the fact that the salary is paid by the agency and not by the receiving party, the size of the salary directly affects the cost of the employee provided, so it will not be possible to save on freelance staff salaries.
- If personnel are hired for harmful and dangerous work, then the contributions will also be higher, which means that the agency will “include” these contributions in the cost of the provided employee.
- Workplace accidents are investigated by the actual employer, not the agency.
- Responsibility for non-payment of wages to “rented” employees lies with both employers – both the direct employer and the agency. By default, their “primary” employer owes them a salary. But if for some reason he cannot pay the employees, they can demand payment from the company where they directly worked.
Obviously, after the adoption of amendments to the Labor Code, concluding outstaffing agreements has become significantly more difficult. And some companies were forced to abandon them altogether.
Responsibility
The purpose of innovation is to protect the interests of personnel. Now the customer bears greater responsibility compared to before.
Administrative
Violation of the rules, including ignoring the ban on outstaffing in Russia, entails administrative liability (Part 1 of Article 5.27 of the Administrative Code):
- for companies – a fine from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles;
- for individual entrepreneurs – a fine of 1000-5000 rubles;
- for officials - a fine of 1000-5000 rubles or a warning.
Penalty for a second violation within a year:
- for companies - a fine of 50,000-70,000 rubles;
- for individual entrepreneurs – 10,000-20,000 rubles;
- for officials – 10,000-20,000 rubles or disqualification for 1-3 years.
Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
