Disclaimer: This article provides general information for employers and does not constitute legal advice for a specific matter.

Employers should base compliance decisions on their establishment, workforce, documents and the law currently applicable to the matter.

Review the engagement structure

Identify the principal employer, contractor, establishment, work location, nature of work and workforce deployment before assessing requirements.

Registration and licensing

Applicable principal-employer registration and contractor licensing should be reviewed before or when contract labour is engaged, including amendments and renewals when circumstances change.

Maintain connected records

Preserve agreements, work orders, worker lists, attendance, wages, payment evidence, statutory benefit records, licences, returns and correspondence.

Monitor contractor compliance

Contractual allocation alone may not remove statutory responsibilities. Appropriate verification and authentic supporting records help demonstrate oversight.
