Your contractor's non-compliance is still your liability
Under labour laws, the principal employer remains responsible for statutory compliance in contract labour arrangements. Gaps in classification, documentation, or contractor compliance can shift financial and legal liability to the organisation.
Secure contractor compliance
Liability is assigned by law, not by contract terms.
