Choosing between using Own or Subcontract Labour ENGINUITY TUTORIAL Copyright Virtual Management Simulations

Choosing between using Own or Subcontract Labour In progressing jobs it is always more cost-effective to use the company’s own fully trained operatives, rather than using subcontractors. Subcontractors :-  Cost more than own labour  Reliance on subcontractors can affect the morale of the company’s own labour However, if there is an overall labour shortfall that the Construction Manager needs to address, two options are available :-  Take-on new recruits, adding to the company’s own labour  Use subcontractors But which option is now the most cost effective ? To answer this question we need to compare the costs involved in taking on one new recruit against one subcontractor.

Choosing between using Own or Subcontract Labour Navigate to "Main menu/Industry information/Country information” Subcontractors Subcontractors do not need to be trained, and are fully effective from day one. However, they do incur an additional subcontract premium each period, shown in the Industry information, which varies between countries. Key Point(s) Subcontractor variations between countries can have a crucial bearing upon which jobs they are used on.

Choosing between using Own or Subcontract Labour Navigate to "Main menu/Industry information/The environment in which the company is operating” New recruits Each new recruit that is taken on into the company’s own workforce has to be trained in their first period with the company. This is a one-off cost allocated to the job they are placed on. The training is assumed to take place where the company is based, and does not vary between countries. Hence, no matter which job a new recruit is allocated to the training cost is the same. The training cost for each new recruit is shown in the Industry information.

Choosing between using Own or Subcontract Labour Navigate to "Main menu/Industry information/The environment in which the company is operating” Where there is an overall labour shortfall in the period, the decision as to whether to employ new recruits or use subcontractors is further complicated by the limit on the number of new recruits that can be taken on in a period, as defined in the Industry information. The limit can vary each period.

Comparing the training cost of new recruits versus subcontractor premium in a period, it would appear that subcontractors are the cheaper option. However, it must be remembered that the new recruit training cost is a one-off cost, whereas subcontractor premiums have to be paid every period. The decision as to whether to employ new recruits or use subcontractors may come down to the jobs where they may be needed, and there are other factors that may affect the company’s strategy :-  The limit on the number of new recruits that can be employed.  The anticipated duration of a contract, which can affect how many periods subcontractors need to be employed for.  The affect of using subcontractors on the morale of the company’s own labour, which is covered in another demo.  Eventually own labour may need to be paid off when work dries up, incurring additional labour payoff charges. The laying off of own labour may then impact on labour relations, affecting the morale and productivity of the workforce across the company. It is certainly worth taking the time to determine the most cost-effective approach, as this can have a significant bearing on the profitability of the company.
