解説
問 42
- ア
正解 Under a contract for work, the contractor (the party undertaking the work) is responsible for completing the job, and the ordering party manages it through the completed deliverables and the progress defined in the contract. The ordering party has no authority to give direct orders to the contractor's personnel. Choice A asks the contractor for periodic progress reports to grasp the overall progress while verifying the quality of the delivered programs, which is an appropriate management activity that fits the framework of a contract for work. It is correct in that it does not step into directly instructing the personnel or managing their labor.
Incorrectイ
Instructing the contractor to replace personnel with low productivity intervenes in the contractor's staffing and labor management. Under a contract for work, the ordering party cannot direct the contractor's personnel; who is assigned and how is for the contractor to decide. Ordering a change of personnel is inappropriate and may even be regarded as disguised contracting.
Incorrectウ
Managing the personnel's attendance and checking their working status at the contractor's work site amounts to attendance management and giving orders to the personnel. This is substantially close to worker dispatch (disguised contracting), and is inappropriate as the management of a contract for work, which should be managed by deliverables.
Incorrectエ
Directly instructing the contractor's staff to do the work arising from a specification change is an act of the ordering party giving direct orders to individual personnel, which is prohibited under a contract for work (disguised contracting). A specification change should not be given directly to the staff; the correct approach is to request the contractor through a contract change or a supplementary agreement with the contractor.
ここがポイント
- Under a contract for work, the contractor is responsible for completing the job, and the ordering party manages by deliverables and progress. The ordering party must not give direct orders to the contractor's individual personnel (disguised contracting is prohibited).
- Distinguish worker dispatch (with direct command) from contracting for work (managed by deliverables). Attendance management of personnel, ordering their replacement, and directly instructing their work are all inappropriate under a contract for work.
