re-subcontract Explanation: tbh, there's not a great deal of webidence, so there's probably a better term out there. Still, I think this is immediately understandable if nothing else materializes... from p.14 of http://www.city.cleveland.oh.us/business_center/forms/PDF/No... RE-SUBCONTRACTING 1. The undersigned will/will not (circle one) re-subcontract work as follows: A. To:____________________________________ Name of Re-Subcontract Firm B. Description work or Supplies/Materials:__________________________ www.ikjournal.com/InvestKoreaWar/work/journal/content/conte... Under the new law, even in cases where it is not strictly necessary, **re-subcontracting** will be partially permitted if the construction company grants approval. Construction companies had no such obligation before, the onus of responsibility falling upon the subcontractors to abide by the law as it then stood and not to **re-subcontract** work if it was not deemed necessary to do so. www.orientsoftware.net/about-us/faqs.aspx 5. Will OSD re-subcontract my services? OSD has its own full development center in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, and we never subcontract our client’s work. HTHAL -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-04 11:34:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hmmm, a note on double dispatch. To me, this sounds like a chokuyaku for 二重派遣, and I don't think it has any concrete meaning in English (in this context). "Double dispatch" certainly exists in computer programming (definition: In software engineering, double dispatch is a mechanism that dispatches a function call to different concrete functions depending on the runtime ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double dispatch) but in an employment context, it sounds like a temp worker was double-booked (as in a scheduling error) rather than being re-派遣ed from the original 派遣先. Googling for "double dispatch" together with keywords like job, staff, work, employment, etc. still turn up hits about computers for the 1st several pages, until finally getting to the same story about Goodwill cited in cinefil-san's links (oh, and a couple of stories about double-dispatches of ambulances to emergencies), so that seems to confirm that "double dispatch" is a chokuyaku possibly invented for that particular story about Goodwill. cinefil (rightfully) says that "re-subcontracting" is close to the nuance of " 孫請け" (sub sub-contracting). That's true - there's not a great deal of difference between re-subcontracting and sub sub-contracting, just as I can't see much difference between 二重派遣 and 孫請け - but perhaps that's just my ignorance!! (Wouldn't be the first time, LOL!) I'd be more than happy to be enlightened and corrected! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-04-04 12:45:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Aaaah, *that* you will have to ask Mr. Google about. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&suggon=0&client=firefox-a... Manish's sugg. of 're-outsource' sounds good, too, but the lines between who is outsourcing what may be blurred when there is a staffing agency involved...(?) How about something like third-party temping or third-party outsourcing/sub-contracting... sorry - hope something better will turn up for you! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-04-04 12:55:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- D'oh! Fourth-party?? :-) Well, how about picking a suitable term (even 'double dispatch') and adding a short explanation in parentheses the first time it appears in the doc? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-04-04 13:09:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sounds good 2 me. Short and self-explanatory. |
