Person signing a contract.    Under the Act on the Contractor’s Obligations and Liability when Work is Contracted Out (Contractor’s Liability Act; 1233/2006), contractors must check that their contracting partners have fulfilled their statutory obligations. 

The act applies to all Finnish and foreign contractors that contract out work in Finland as subcontracting or temporary agency work. The act applies to all sectors.

The objective of the act is to promote fair competition between companies and to ensure that the terms of employment are observed. The Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Regional State Administrative Agency for Southern Finland is responsible for supervising compliance with the act.

If you use subcontractors or temporary agency workers, remember to find out whether you have an obligation to carry out checks under the Contractor’s Liability Act.
