Cleaning up non-staff personnel is really going on this time.
Recently, Yongchun County in Fujian Province issued a circular on the dismissal of non-staff personnel, a total of 10 articles, the main contents of which are three: one is to stipulate the scale of non-staff personnel, the number of non-staff personnel exceeding 10 percent of the establishment will be dismissed, and the units employing more than 10 non-staff personnel should also be appropriately reduced. That is to say, a unit has 100 establishments, and only a maximum of 10 non-staff personnel can be hired.
The other is that all the non-staff personnel in the service window should be dismissed, and the temporarily hired non-staff personnel should be dismissed, such as those who need to be hired for phased work, and those who are temporarily hired for reasons such as leave of absence for the establishment personnel.
The third is that since January this year, all non-staff personnel hired without authorization have been dismissed, and all existing non-staff personnel have only been reduced but not increased.
It is also stipulated that the removal work must be fully completed by April 30, 2024, although I don't know how many non-staff personnel there are in Yongchun County, but such a big move, the jobs of many non-staff personnel will definitely be lost.
Non-staff staff are referred to as "shadow employees", and most of the expenditure is also covered by the budget, but it is not compiled. Non-staff personnel have been around for a long time, and they were called "temporary workers" before 1995, and after the implementation of the Labor Contract Law that year, they were "contract workers". Since there is no establishment, it is also called "supernumerary".
Since the mainland is a concept of "big government" and the scope of territorial management is constantly expanding, it is necessary to increase the number of people to carry out all kinds of work, but the state is very strict in managing the number of staff, so it can only recruit staff in a "supernumerary" way.
Later, these people with iron rice bowls found that the supernumerary staff were too easy to use, and the work was hard, the hours were long, and the wages were low. Therefore, it is better to have an empty establishment and to recruit a large number of non-staff personnel.
The work is done by non-staff personnel, and these people in the staff are naturally very relaxed, and "being idle in the staff and busy in the supernumerary" has become a normal state of work.
Last year, "Banyuetan" published an article saying that there were 15,580 in-service personnel in County A in Wumeng Mountain, but the number of non-staff personnel was as high as 28,806, which is equivalent to one establishment with two non-staff personnel. With so many non-staff personnel working, don't the people in the establishment just drink tea and chat?
Moreover, the total salary expenditure of non-staff personnel is 460 million yuan, and the average per capita is only 16,000 yuan. However, the salary expenditure of on-the-job personnel is as high as 2 billion yuan, or 128,000 yuan per capita.
It is understood that the situation in this A county is the same as that of Dafang County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. Dafang County used to be one of the poorest counties in the country, with only 700 million yuan in fiscal revenue in 2022, but the transfer payment received was as high as 4.2 billion yuan. I didn't make a lot of money, but I spent money like water, and my salary expenditure alone was as high as 2.6 billion yuan.
Although there is no establishment of non-staff personnel, for a long time, they can only enter but not leave, and more enter and less leave, and have almost become a kind of "iron rice bowl". Don't look at the hard work and low wages, these positions are still crowded and can't get in.
There are no exact statistics on how many non-staff personnel there are in the country at present, but it is estimated that it should exceed 20 million. For the increasingly large number of non-staff personnel, the state has also called for streamlining. For example, in 2018, the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions" clearly stated that it is necessary to strictly control the employment of supernumerary personnel, and strictly regulate the applicable positions, responsibilities and various management systems. But the effect does not appear to be significant, and public clean-up operations are rare, and there is no reduction in personnel.
Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, someone is helping with the work, why should it be dismissed. In addition, in the past, there was an abundance of finances, there was no shortage of money, and it was not mandatory.
Now, after three years of the epidemic, the house cannot be sold, and the local government is in financial difficulties, so it is impossible to streamline it. In the past two years, Jianli City, Hubei Province, was the first to start the removal of non-staff personnel, and in September 2022, a notice was issued to require the removal of non-staff personnel.
In 2023, Shiyan in Hubei, Ordos in Inner Mongolia, Harbin in Heilongjiang and many other places will join the clearance team, and 1,038 supernumerary personnel will be dismissed in Hunan Dao County, while another county in Hunan will each be dismissed by 500 people in the health education system alone, which shows how large the scale of non-staff personnel in this county is.
Entering 2024, the cleanup of non-staff personnel is still accelerating, and this time it is in earnest. For example, Yongchun County, Fujian Province, requires all units to attach great importance to it and prevent perfunctory and superficial work. It's hard to fool the past this time, and I really have to clear it.
"Living a tight life" has been proposed many times, and the jobs outside the establishment are unstable, and the idle days within the establishment are coming to an end.
