Subcontractor Engagement Checklist

Engage subbies properly: the agreement essentials, insurance and licence verification, and the contractor-vs-employee test to run before it bites.

Build my subbie engagement checklist. Context: {{context}} (my trade, how I use subbies, handshake-arrangements today, what's gone wrong: {{issues}}).

Cover: the verification file per subbie BEFORE they start (ABN check, licence for their trade and state — verify against the register, public liability certificate WITH currency date, workers comp or sole-trader status, SWMS capability), the agreement essentials in plain English (scope and standards, rates and payment timing, defect rectification, insurance responsibilities, no-payment-until-paperwork rule), the contractor-vs-employee smell test (one client, my tools, my hours, ongoing → flag for advice: sham contracting and super obligations bite hard), and the file hygiene: where certificates live and the expiry-alarm. Trace each checklist item to one of my {{issues}} where possible.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
