Subcontracting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The definition of \u201cemployee\u201d in the Act respecting collective agreement decrees does not specifically mention the word \u201csubcontractor,\u201d but it does list craftspeople as employees. Case law has repeatedly established that self-employed craftspeople are employees within the meaning of the Act when they are working on a subcontract for a professional employer. This means that the employer needs to consider their subcontractor an employee, list them as such in the monthly reports, and grant them all the benefits under the Decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liability of professional employers and contractors who contract with sub-entrepreneurs or subcontractors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section\u00a014 of the Act respecting collective agreement decrees states that professional employers and contractors who contract with sub-entrepreneurs or subcontractors, either directly or through an intermediary, are jointly and severally (\u201csolidarily\u201d) liable with those sub-entrepreneurs or subcontractors and intermediaries for the pecuniary obligations imposed in the Decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, businesses cannot sidestep their obligations under the Act or the Decree by having subcontractors or sub-entrepreneurs execute a contract, as they are generally still responsible for the associated financial obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
