FAQ
A rule of thumb for independent contractors is that the vendor should be allowed to mark up your pay rate by about 15 percent when billing the client. This allows the vendor a respectable profit without making the bill rate outrageous.
Start with procurement standards. Execute all subcontracts prior to starting your projects. Help those who help you. Award the job to the lowest fully qualified bidder. Use contract scope checklists. Make sure you have tight clauses. Meet to review the proposed subcontract.
Subcontracting in general is where one company will take a piece of work and give it to some other business organization to carry out that work.The more subcontracting, the more fissuring of the work, the greater the risk for health and safety at the bottom of those chains.
The disadvantages contractors doing this work lie in costs: The hourly expenses are high, and the professionals are independent in that they don't report to supervisors inside the company. These factors make it challenging to control the costs of these subcontracts.
Licensing. Scope of Work and Payment. Timing. Defense and Indemnification.
Some subcontractors are paid with a lump sum of money by their employers. For example, a technical writer contracts with a company to write a manual. The company agrees to pay that writer a certain amount of money to write the manual. The writer then writes the manual for the company and submits it.
The biggest drawback for workers is the lack of benefits provided. Most, if not all, companies that hire temporary workers do not offer health insurance, retirement plans, or vacation and sick days to them. Workers are responsible for funding these benefits, and they're expensive.
Lack of staff development. Contractors will use more time researching potential subcontractors. Contractors will lose their control over the timeliness and quality of work. Poor performance quality.
Even though subcontractors are typically cost more than self-performing in-house, it is still more cost-effective in most cases. Subcontractors do not get benefits, office space or equipment. Hiring contractors also relieves you of having to pay employee taxes and a full-time salary.
