What you as a homeowner should know how the Canadian Provincial Government looks at Contractors, subcontractors, and homeowners with respect to work completed on your property. Can you be liable for their WCB premiums or if they injure themselves and for the time which is required for their recovery.
As a business owner when you hire other subcontractors, how does WCB view the relationship and can you ever be responsible for their (Premiums) contributions, can they be considered your worker.
Being on top of all these questions can be overwhelming but the short video should answer your question of how you can check out a contractor before you hire them.
