IPA IP 2021 Question 12
A question IPA Japan published in 令和3年度 ITパスポート試験 公開問題 問12, translated into English. ITPEC is based on the same exams.
Among descriptions A through C concerning worker dispatching, which of the following lists all and only the appropriate ones?
Explanation
Only B — once the worker’s employment with the dispatching company has ended, the client company is free to hire that person.
Worker dispatching (in Japan, governed by the Worker Dispatching Act) has three parties: the dispatching company employs the worker, the client company directs the work, and the dispatched worker works under that direction.
- •A: wrong. Choosing the worker is the dispatching company’s job as the employer. The client company is not to take part in picking the person (interviews or CVs in advance), except in temp-to-perm dispatching, which is meant to lead to direct hiring. So it does not hold regardless of the type of contract.
- •B: right. Nothing stops the client company from hiring a former dispatched worker after the employment with the dispatching company ends; the law even forbids the dispatching company from banning it.
- •C: wrong. The employer, the dispatching company, pays the wages. The client company pays a dispatch fee to the dispatching company.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) and (b) — include A, but selection is the employer’s, not the client company’s
- •(d) — includes C, but wages come from the dispatching company, the employer
Key rule: In dispatching, the dispatching company employs, selects and pays the worker; the client company only gives instructions on the work.
