Subontractors, Employees and the Law
Knowing you need help to run your building business is half the challenge. But do you need an employee or a contractor? You can employ someone or pay a contractor to do the work for you.
Before you decide, it helps to know the main differences between the two employment types, including your financial obligations as an employer. Also covered are some common factors in determining whether you are an independent contractor or an employee, including rights, responsibilities and entitlements.
This course also provides an overview of the different types of contracts and the benefits and requirements of each, including the potential risks from not having one or failing to have all the necessary inclusions in the event that a dispute arises.
