The Taiwanese government has introduced the work pattern of atypical employment for a period of years. Since the Administrative Enforcement Agency was established, it keeps using a lot of atypical human resources to deal with the heavy workloads, and among all kinds of atypical human resources, the most stable and useful atypical human resource for the agency is dispatching employment. According to an investigation report of the Taiwanese Central Government on the use of dispatching employment by the Ministry of Auditing in February, among all Taiwanese Central Government agencies, there are 11 agencies, including the Administrative Enforcement Agency, whose dispatching employment ratio is between 50% and 59.99%. .
In recent years, under the supervision of the Legislative Yuan, the Control Yuan, and the pressure of public opinion, government departments have decreased the use of dispatching employment. In 2016, President Tsai’s labor policy also mentioned that the use of dispatching employment by the public sector should be gradually reduced. According to Article 24 of the Atypical Employment Protection Law, the government agencies must not own dispatching employees more than 3% of the total number of employees. Therefore, with the theme of " Research on the Conversion of Labor Dispatch to Labor Contract: A Case of an Administrative Execution Authority", our study analyzes how Labor Dispatch System was transformed into a Labor Service Contract System.
Our study finds that the most important difference between Labor Dispatch System and Labor Service Contract System is the existence of command and supervision authority, which also affects whether Labor Dispatch System can be converted to Labor Service Contract System. Our research further finds that if a work item or content can be specified with a clear scope of work or a standard work flow or presented in a quantitative way, it can be easily converted into a labor contract; if the work of dispatching assistant is within the core competence of the organization, some of the work content can be set out with a clear scope, standard operating procedures, or presented in quantitative terms. This part can be easily converted into the Labor Service Contract System, and others are hard to be converted. In addition, the exercise of the command supervisory power will also affect the agency’s willingness to switch. All units of the agency, no matter the core units of the agency or not, claims that there is a need to exercise the command supervision power.
