[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, the employing units are required to rectify the situation within a specified time limit and may face fines. According to the regulations, the employing units shall strictly control the number of dispatched workers and the number of dispatched workers used shall not exceed 10% of the total number of employees; the calculation of the total number of employees shall be based on the sum of the number of employees with labor contracts and the number of dispatched workers used. For those employing units that exceed the proportion, the administrative departments of human resources and social security may order them to make corrections within a specified time limit; if they fail to make corrections within the time limit, they shall be fined not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 10,000 yuan per person. There are usually three ways to rectify the situation: converting to direct employment (signing labor contracts with workers), returning some dispatched workers in accordance with the law, or adjusting the job structure to meet the requirements of temporariness, auxiliaryness, and substitutability. It should be noted that the violation of the proportion is the administrative responsibility of the employing units, and it does not necessarily affect the rights of workers under the labor contract.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

Labor dispatch is widely used due to its flexible employment model, but the red line regarding the proportion of dispatched workers is often overlooked. When a company expands its scale or experiences business fluctuations, the number of dispatched workers may quietly exceed 10% of the total workforce. Once this is detected or reported, the company will be required to rectify the situation within a specified timeframe and may face fines. For dispatched workers, the most pressing concern is whether the rectification will affect their job positions and compensation.

II. Key points of contention

First, the calculation method of the total number of employees; Second, the definition and practical application of "three-in-one" positions; Third, the choice of rectification path and compliance risks; Fourth, the disproportionate administrative responsibilities and their impact on the validity of labor contracts; Fifth, how workers' rights are protected during the rectification process.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm

The first step is to calculate the total number of employees. The total number of employees is equal to the number of employees with whom the employing unit has signed labor contracts plus the number of dispatched workers employed; the number of dispatched workers shall not exceed 10% of the total number. The calculation should be based on the actual number of employees to avoid evading the requirements through reporting, otherwise, the employing unit will still be deemed to have exceeded the standard during the inspection.

The second layer is that the nature of the positions is also subject to restrictions. Labor dispatch is generally applicable to temporary, auxiliary, or substitute work positions; employing core, long-term, or main business positions through dispatch, even if the proportion does not exceed the limit, may still be questioned during the compliance review. Employers should plan the employment structure based on the nature of the positions and their employment needs.

The third layer is that the cost of each rectification path is different. Transforming to direct employment is the most thorough, but it will increase labor costs and management responsibilities; returning some dispatched workers in accordance with the law requires meeting the statutory conditions for return and cannot be arbitrarily dismissed; and adjusting the position structure requires matching with actual business operations. Enterprises should choose based on the cost of compliance and operational needs, and keep written records of the rectification process to deal with inspections.

On the fourth level, workers' rights are not affected by the issue of proportionality. Violations of the proportion requirement are the administrative responsibilities that employers should bear. Workers' rights to wages, social insurance, and protection against termination under labor contracts will not be lost as a result; if the employer illegally returns or terminates the contract in the name of rectification, workers can still claim corresponding responsibilities. When handling such issues, Henglue Law Firm usually evaluates them from two perspectives: on the one hand, it assists employers in sorting out their employment structures and formulating rectification timetables; on the other hand, it advises workers to pay attention to preserving employment evidence to prevent being dealt with illegally during the rectification process.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

Firstly, enterprises should regularly calculate the proportion of dispatched workers and establish a record of employment. Secondly, if the proportion exceeds the standard, they should formulate a rectification plan as soon as possible and keep the relevant records. Thirdly, they should avoid reducing the number of dispatched workers by arbitrarily returning them, and the return must comply with legal requirements. Fourthly, workers should keep their labor contracts, wage and attendance records to prevent illegal treatment. Fifthly, if there are any acts exceeding the standard, they can report them to the human resources and social security department. Main legal basis: Article 4 and Article 22 of the Interim Regulations on Labor Dispatch, Article 66 and Article 92 of the Labor Contract Law of the People's Republic of China; the specific application shall be subject to the currently effective provisions.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the proportion of dispatched workers?

The number of dispatched workers used by the employing unit shall not exceed 10% of its total employment quota. The total employment quota refers to the sum of the number of workers employed under labor contracts and the number of dispatched workers used. The proportion shall be calculated based on the actual employment, and adjustments to the reporting standards cannot circumvent compliance review.

Q2: What penalties will be imposed for exceeding the quota?

The administrative departments of human resources and social security shall order the employer to make corrections within a specified time limit; if the employer fails to make corrections within the time limit, it shall be fined not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 10,000 yuan per person. In addition to administrative penalties, the enterprise may also face labor disputes and compliance risks. It should make corrections as soon as possible and keep relevant records.

Q3: How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for corporate rectification?

The fees are usually negotiated on a per-project or per-workload basis. For services involving the review of employment systems, the amendment of labor contracts, and the design of rectification plans, the fees are determined based on the scope of the work. It is recommended to clarify the service content and deliverables before signing the contract, and to require a separate breakdown of consulting and document preparation fees.

Q4: Will the rectification affect my position?

Not necessarily. The methods of rectification include converting to direct employment, returning workers to their previous jobs in accordance with the law, or adjusting the job structure; if the employer returns or terminates workers under the guise of rectification, the workers can claim their rights according to the law. It is recommended to keep the labor contract, pay and attendance records, and pay attention to changes in their employment status in a timely manner.

Q5: What should I do if I find that my unit is employing workers in excess of the permitted ratio?

You can report the matter to the human resources and social security department, which will order the employer to make corrections within a specified timeframe. At the same time, workers should pay attention to their own rights and interests: the issue of the proportion does not affect the wages, social insurance, and dismissal protection enjoyed according to the labor contract; if they encounter illegal treatment, they can apply for labor arbitration to claim responsibilities.

The above Q&A is mainly based on the judicial practice in Beijing. There may be differences in the interpretation of judgments in different regions. It is recommended to consult a professional lawyer based on the specific circumstances of the case.
