Document background
The Sub Contract Work Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Ireland that need to engage subcontractors for specific projects or ongoing services. This document is particularly crucial in industries such as construction, professional services, and technology, where subcontracting is common practice. It ensures compliance with Irish legislation, including employment law, health and safety regulations, and tax requirements (particularly the RCT system). The agreement protects both the main contractor and subcontractor by clearly defining their rights, obligations, and responsibilities. It addresses key aspects such as payment terms, performance standards, insurance requirements, and dispute resolution procedures, while incorporating specific provisions required under Irish law.
