Contracts for work and labour with subcontractors from Eastern Europe
Do you have a large order that you want to fulfil independently or directly through an Eastern European subcontractor? Then a contract for work and labour is a good option.
In the main construction industry, contracts for work and labour are the only legal option for employing Eastern European subcontractors, as hiring out workers in this sector is traditionally prohibited in Germany.
What is a contract for work?
A contract for work is an agreement in which a contractor is obliged to perform certain work in return for payment. In return, the client is obliged to pay the agreed remuneration. This may involve the manufacture of a product, the provision of a service or the realisation of a construction project. A contract for work is characterised above all by the success owed by the company and thus differs from a service contract. It is important that the parties clearly define and establish their obligations and rights in order to avoid misunderstandings or disputes. A clear definition of the work as well as the exact circumstances and conditions are therefore essential for the successful conclusion of a contract for work and labour.
