The Agreement Between Builder And Labour Contractor is a critical document used in Philippine construction projects when a principal contractor needs to engage a specialized labour contractor to provide workforce services. This agreement is particularly relevant in the context of the Philippine construction industry, where labor contracting is strictly regulated under the Labor Code and DOLE Department Order No. 174-17. The document ensures compliance with local licensing requirements, labor standards, and occupational safety regulations while clearly defining the scope of services, payment terms, and responsibilities of both parties. It includes provisions for worker welfare, social security compliance, and safety standards as mandated by Philippine law, making it essential for construction projects of all scales. The agreement serves as a crucial risk management tool, protecting both the Builder and Labour Contractor while ensuring clear accountability and compliance with legal requirements.
