ABSTRACT

All builders, even most one-man builders at times, employ direct Labour, “Labour-only sub-contractors” and/or “Supply-and-fix sub-contractors”, and there are rules and regulations to be followed by a builder for each of these categories which could result in severe penalties if ignored. The rules and regulations regarding sub-contractors are provided in Chapter 2. The Direct Labour rules and regulations include:
