Daily Salary payment system “furisoku”

A customer achieved to reduce personnel expense by the increase in number of application for job offered

The average hourly rate for part-timers is now continuing to increase in all types of business.
The following are some of the cases where our customers succeeded to reduce hourly rate by introducing “Furisoku” system or personnel expenses by hiring regular employees instead of relying on temporary staffers paying high hourly rate.

A food factory (15 minutes by bus from the nearest railway station)

The factory succeeded in reducing as much as 404,323 yen per month by introducing “Furisoku” system

	Monthly personnel expenses	Monthly advertisement costs	Monthly charge for “Furisoku” system	Total
Before Furisoku	12,768,336 yen	0 yen	0 yen	12,768,336 yen
After Furisoku	12,150,013 yen	75,000 yen	139,000 yen	12,364,013 yen
Differences caused by Furisoku	618,323 yen	－75,000 yen	－139,000 yen	404,323 yen

The factory used to pay an hourly rate of average 1,000 yen to the temporary staffers but it has started hiring regular employees, utilizing “Furisoku” system. The hourly rate has reduced to 750 yen and the factory achieved reducing a significant amount of cost even paying the advertising costs and “Furisoku” charges.
In fact this factory has achieved around 400,000 yen reducing in cost while 1,272 staff members worked this month, among which 1,055 were temporary workers and 217 were regular employees. If the factory switches all the staff members to regular employees, it may be able to reduce as much as 2.7 million yen per month.

45 applicants reacted to 114,000 yen advertisement and 36 were hired. The unit cost (per application) was 2,533 yen.
