Overtime: Short term fluctuations in work volume could best be solved through overtime. The employer
benefits because the costs of recruitment, selection and training could be avoided. The employee benefits
in the form of higher pay. However, an overworked employee may prove to be less productive and turn
out less than optimal performance. Employees may slow down their pace of work during normal working
hours in order to earn overtime daily. In course of time, overtime payments become quite routine and if,
for any reason, these payments do not accrue regularly, employees become resentful and disgruntled.
Subcontracting: To meet a sudden increase in demand for its products and services, the firm may
sometimes go for subcontracting instead of expanding capacities immediately. Expansion becomes a
reality only when the firm experiences increased demand for its products for a specified period of time.
Meanwhile, the firm can meet increased demand by allowing an outside specialist agency to undertake
part of the work, to mutual advantage.
Temporary employees: Employees hired for a limited time to perform a specific job are called
temporary employees. They are particularly useful in meeting short term human resource
needs. A short term increase in demand could be met by hiring temporary hands from agencies
specialising in providing such services. Its a big business idea in United States these days ($3-
$4 billion industry). In this case the firm can avoid the expenses of recruitment and the painful
effects of absenteeism, labour turnover, etc. It can also avoid fringe benefits associated with
regular employment. However, temporary workers do not remain loyal to the company; they
may take more time to adjust and their inexperience may come in the way of maintaining high
quality.

Employee leasing: Hiring permanent employees of another company whopossess certain specialized skills on lease basis to meet short-termrequirementsalthough not popular in Indiais another recruiting practice
followed by firms in developed countries. In this case, individuals work forthe leasing firm as per the leasing agreement/arrangement. Such anarrangement is beneficial to small firms because it avoids expense and
problems of personnel administration.
Outsourcing: Any activity in which a firm lacks internal expertise andrequires on unbiased opinion can be outsourced. Many businesses havestarted looking at outsourcing activities relating to recruitment, training,
payroll processing, surveys, benchmark studies, statutory compliance etc.,
more closely, because they do not have the time or expertise to deal with thesituation. HR heads are no longer keeping activities like resumemanagement and candidate sourcing in their daily scrutiny. This function ismore commonly outsourced when firms are in seasonal business and havecyclical stuffing needs
