Subcontractors or Employees?
We have advised on and prepared sub-contracts in Perth and Western Australia for 25 years for clients in construction, mining and all other commercial areas.
For further information relating to Building & Construction and sub-contracts read Building and Construction, Contracts and Commercial Advice and Building Contracts and Sub-Contracts.
Whatever industry you are in, clients also need to be certain whether their workers are independent contractors or employees. If you don’t have a proper sub-contract your workers may be classified as employees even though you think you are treating them as independent contractors.
You may be exposed to various claims, including superannuation and claims by the ATO.
