A Wisconsin subcontractor agreement allows for the clear communication of the rights and responsibilities of an individual hired to aid in the completion of a contractor’s project. Provisions such as the manner in which the subcontractor will be financially compensated, the amount of said compensation, the hired party’s right to subcontract their services, and the completion date, must all be agreed upon prior to signing the document. Once the document has been reviewed thoroughly and furnished with all necessary signatures, it will serve as a binding contract that can be referenced should any dispute arise between the hired and hiring parties.
“Subcontractor” Definition
“”Subcontractor” means a person whose relationship to the principal contractor is substantially the same as to a part of the work as the latter’s relationship is to the proprietor. A “subcontractor” takes a distinct part of the work in a way that the “subcontractor” does not contemplate doing merely personal service.”
