Staff Outstaffing
Staff outstaffing means moving employees off your payroll: people work on your project and under your management, while FSSA takes on the legal employment, HR administration, payroll, taxes and reporting.
For companies in Kazakhstan it is a way to manage headcount flexibly in line with project volumes: growing the team during peak periods and reducing it without complex HR procedures, all without expanding the staffing schedule. Outstaffing is particularly sought after by project-based and foreign companies entering the Kazakhstan market: they can get a team up and running before building their own HR structure.
FSSA supports outstaffed personnel end to end — from employment and record-keeping to dealings with government agencies — and on industrial sites additionally arranges medical checks, training and logistics to the site.
What the service includes
- Employment of staff on FSSA's payroll under the labour legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan: employment contracts, orders and personnel files.
- HR administration: timesheets, leave, sick leave, business trips, transfers and terminations.
- Calculation and payment of salaries, withholding of taxes, and payment of pension contributions, social contributions and health insurance contributions.
- Reporting to and dealings with government agencies.
- Recruitment of new staff by FSSA recruiters, or transfer to our payroll of specialists the client has already selected.
- For industrial sites — medicals, occupational health and industrial safety training, and logistics to the place of work.
- One contract and a single set of closing documents instead of payroll and HR paperwork for every employee.
How it works
- Request. You describe the headcount, positions, project duration and working conditions.
- Recruitment or transfer. FSSA recruits specialists or takes on the staff proposed by the client.
- Employment. The employees sign employment contracts with FSSA and receive all the guarantees they are entitled to.
- Payroll and reporting. The agency calculates and pays salaries, pays taxes and contributions, and submits reports.
- Support. We keep HR records for the whole project and increase or reduce headcount at your request.
When companies choose outstaffing
- The project is time-limited. Construction, modernisation or a turnaround needs people for months, not years. Outstaffing avoids inflating the headcount for a temporary task.
- The company is entering the Kazakhstan market. A foreign client can get the team working before setting up its own HR department and accounting.
- Headcount is capped. When the staffing table is approved by the parent company, outstaffing provides people without changing it.
- The workload is seasonal. Headcount grows at peak times and is reduced afterwards without complex HR procedures.
Outstaffing vs outsourcing
With outstaffing, employees work at your site and carry out tasks under the direction of your managers, while FSSA remains their formal employer and is responsible for employment, payroll and reporting. If you need to hand over not people but an entire process, together with its management and responsibility for the result, personnel outsourcing is the right choice.
Why FSSA
FSSA has worked since 2007 and knows the requirements of operators and contractors on oil-and-gas, construction and industrial projects in the Atyrau, Mangystau, Aktobe and West Kazakhstan regions. The group covers related tasks without extra contractors: training at APEC Training Center, accommodation and catering at APEC complex, and mobilisation for rotational work.
