Sub Contractor Contract

[Time's Ran Out]

A contractor Ive done a couple of jobs for and have a couple more booked has sent me a Sub Contractors Contract for Services for me to sign. We've not had a chance to talk about it but I wondered if this was common practise?
It also made me wonder if I should have something to cover myself, especially when a start date moves at the last minute and Im left without work. What notice period should I be given for a start date change before I can charge for the loss?



cheers

I would have your own public liability Missy T as as a bonefide subcontractor you should have your own ,before signing this contract ask to see a copy of their employers liabilty insurance and public liability showing you are covered by theirs ,we had a subcontractor severely cut himself on a tile on one of our jobs this week I had to report it to riddor as he spent the night in hospital ,I am so glad we are completety covered with our insurances and keep an up to date health a safety policy also if they are getting contractual make sure you get full ppe from them including work wear and overalls

Ive always had my own insurance.

It doesnt quite say that in the policy. Its something that needs to be sorted because I cant afford to be suddenly left high and dry with no work.

cheers for your advice everyone.
