Manual Labor is available within all the country and can be implemented through different channels like a private logistics company, a job center agency or inclusive with a service agreement. This service is usually contracted on daily basis for warehousing operations with a flat rate charged per ton or per unit and according to the type of operation. Additional costs can occur such like PPE (Personal Protective Equipment e.g. helmet, closed shoes, gloves, etc), liability insurance or a supervisor. To ensure a permanent manual labour service, it is recommended to implement a long-term agreement which also provides an advantage to maintain the same workers deployed in the warehouse.
