ManpowerGroup – Retorting about efood contracts

After the uproar that has been created with the electronic distribution platform efood, answers to the quarterly contracts of the employees with the company are given by the cooperating company Manpower through its announcement.

ManpowerGroup Greece, a member of the ManpowerGroup group, states that it cooperates with many leading companies in Greece, providing high quality integrated human resources solutions in areas such as Informatics, Customer Service, Engineering, Finance & Accounting, Industry, Management, Special Care that its purpose is “to meet the temporary needs of its partner, only for a certain period of time” and adds that “temporary employment time, as is the case with all our partners, can not exceed 36 months according to the legislation which is strictly observed “.

In this regard, ManpowerGroup clarifies that in all the tripartite fixed-term contracts it concludes with its partners, the following applies:

A. The managerial right to “temporary staff”, ie the definition of place, time and manner of employment (eg duration of contract), is exercised only by the indirect employer and not by ManpowerGroup

B. ManpowerGroup as a direct employer is limited to the execution of administrative employer obligations to public bodies, indirect employer and employee (such as announcements to the Institution, drafting of contracts, issuance of payroll, payment of insurance contributions, etc.).

C. The Employee provides his services to the indirect employer in accordance with the terms of his employment contract, as provided by P / D 156/94.

D. ManpowerGroup follows all the legal instructions of its client and guarantees all the conditions that must be met in accordance with the law.

Based on the above facts, characterizations that have been made public in the last few days, are far from the reality and the commitment of ManpowerGroup to the Greek and European legislation. ManpowerGroup closely monitors the developments in the labor market and is proven to be a reliable strategic partner and helper of the business world, with respect to the employee and the labor legislation based on Law 4052/2012, as amended and in force with Law 4093/2012 & 4254/2014 for Temporary Employment Companies (PSC), the announcement concludes.
