Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario describes employee leasing, which involves a company hiring workers through a third-party provider who is responsible for managing payroll, handling benefits, and other HR-related tasks. In this case, Alana has signed a contract with Minerva Inc. to provide her with designers and tailors, and will pay both a fixed amount and an annual fee for their services. This arrangement allows Alana to access skilled workers without having to handle the administrative burden of managing employees herself. Outsourcing typically involves contracting out specific tasks or processes to external providers, while networking and employee referral are not relevant to this scenario.
