The Subcontract Chain

Information about people flows up a chain that was designed to move money down it. What to require, from whom, and what happens at the tier where nobody is looking.

Analysis

Agency and Self-Employed Labour

A large part of the construction workforce is supplied rather than employed. Who verifies what, and the assumption that all three parties make.

Analysis

What to Put in the Subcontract

The obligations that make everything else possible, written before the work starts, because none of them can be imposed afterwards.

Reference

Payment Down the Chain

Late payment two tiers away shows up on site as people not arriving. Why a workforce problem is frequently a commercial one, and what the register reveals first.
