Subcontractor or Agency in Construction? Nailing Your Compliance is Key

At WhiteFin Group, we’re specialists in construction payroll and compliance across Europe, offering unparalleled protection for our clients. Whether you’re a recruitment agency, a subcontractor, or an end client, it’s crucial to understand that everyone in the contract chain shares the responsibility of safeguarding workers.

The Risks of Contracting in High-Risk Environments

Contracting in environments such as construction sites or offshore oil rigs comes with inherent physical risks. Questions surrounding the need for Medivac, occupational hazard insurance, public or employer liability insurance, and compliance with country-specific regulations are vital. Are you aware of the necessary PPE, training, and site access requirements? WhiteFin ensures your company is properly equipped with the right insurances and setups to protect your workers comprehensively.

The Pitfalls of Subleasing and Payroll Outsourcing

Be cautious of subleasing; having too many intermediaries can be seen as subleasing by tax authorities, which is particularly problematic in construction. Outsourcing payroll can also pose significant risks if your payroll provider is unaware of what their local partner is doing. Construction projects often require adherence to union regulations and collective bargaining agreements, which cover overtime rates, penalties, insurance requirements, and more. Your payroll provider must be capable of adapting financial illustrations promptly to prevent financial issues.
