The package includes an manual describing company policies, standards and payment procedures. After appropriately customizing for your company, this manual can be given to every subcontractor you work with, describing clearly your commitment to them and what you expect from their commitment to you.
The Subcontractor Manual is a word-processing document, making it easy to customize with your company name. Add and delete policies as needed, using this as the starting point for your Subcontractor Handbook. It is available as a download or on CD. (Some forms require the free Adobe Acrobat reader, download available at www.adobe.com)
By setting guidelines on how the General and Subcontractor will perform their services, both parties know what to expect. The manual is a win-win document for both parties.
Phil –
Years ago when I made the switch from employees to subs, I purchased this sub manual. I used it as a guide when creating and setting expectations with subs, learning how to best manage 1099s vs W2s. I still refer to this manual, and have used much of it as a “copy and paste” in my 2-page sub agreement I have all subs sign now (policies, best building practices, expectations, and what motivates a sub the most). Completely invaluable purchase I’d highly suggest if you need to hire or currently utilize subs.
