| I am in the construction business and use all sub contractors for labor. I have no employees. That will change next year when I plan to move my office out of my home and hire an office manager and another salesman.
The construction industry is based on subcontracting. Here is what I do to protect myself: Each sub signs a sub contractor agreement. Each sub must be paid by invoice, meaning they give me an invoice for services not a time card. Each sub must have their own tools and equipment. For every job I send a work order with their name and their company name on it (having their company name is key). Also each sub must have their own liscencing and insurance, and I insist on proof. |
