In order to make use of temporary workers dispatched by a temporary personnel agency, an enterprise must enter into a contract for supply of temporary labor with the agency in question. In addition, the temporary workers may not be required to perform work other than that for which they were originally dispatched. Businesses to which temporary workers are dispatched by a temporary personnel agency may not make use of such workers to perform the same task (with the exception of certain types of tasks), in any of their workplaces at which temporary workers are employed, for a continuous period exceeding one year. If a business has made use of a dispatched temporary worker to perform the same task for a continuous period of one year, in one of its workplaces at which temporary workers are employed, and wishes to place the temporary worker under its own employment, beginning on the day after one year has elapsed, in order to continue to perform the same task, said business must endeavor to place said temporary worker, who has been performing the same task for a period of one year, under its own employment without delay. When entering into contracts with temporary personnel agencies, businesses to which temporary workers are dispatched must endeavor not to engage in acts with the aim of specifying which workers are to be dispatched, such as requiring interviews or the submission of resumes beforehand.
