Ive hired a subcontractor to work for me until October 15, 2005 and his clearance is valid only until March 1, 2005. What should I do?
Be sure to check the subcontractor’s clearance rating before you make the final payment. By then, if the clearance is still valid only until March 1, 2005, it’s up to you to decide if you want to make the final payment to the subcontractor or wait until the subcontractor has paid his first quarter premium to WorkSafeBC (the WCB), which is due April 20. You can also discuss the matter with WorkSafeBC’s Clearance Section by calling 604 244-6380 or 1 888 922-2768.
