A work provider by definition is the general contractor or construction company responsible for calls for tenders and the hiring of subcontractors.
Discover the role and responsibilities of the service provider towards the subcontracted parties and their client.
The Civil Code of Quebec indicates that the role of the work provider is to:
- Make sure to pay the contractors to the amount of the remuneration established between the two parties
- Enable the performance of the agreed service provision
- Take the necessary measures to protect the safety and health of workers according to the nature of the project to be carried out
Contractors also have many responsibilities to their subcontractors and customers. Here are a few.
- Provide the information and goods necessary for the performance of the employment contract, except for an agreement between the parties which stipulates otherwise.
- Ensure that the goods provided meet industry quality standards.
- If the goods are supplied by the subcontractor, the work provider must handle them with care and ensure their quality. Failure to check these goods if they prove to be unfit for use, makes the entrepreneur the person liable in the event of a defect caused by the use of these goods. The work provider is therefore required to inform the subcontractor in the event that the goods are unusable.
- If the work has a price higher than the estimate, it is the client's responsibility to justify this increase to the client.
- Provide regular updates to their clients, such as work progress, services rendered and expenses incurred.
- Work providers are presumed responsible for the loss of the structure in the following 5 years, if the loss results from a defect in design, construction, execution or the ground.
