Contract Labour (CLRA) Licence — Engage Contract Workers Lawfully
A CLRA licence lets you engage contract workers lawfully. In short, the Contract Labour Act requires the principal employer to register and the contractor to hold a licence. However, engaging workers without it brings penalties and disputes. Therefore, Prospect Legal handles both the registration and the licence. As a result, you engage contract labour the legal, dispute-free way.

What is a CLRA licence, and who needs it?
The Contract Labour Act governs the use of contract workers. Simply put, the principal employer registers and the contractor gets a licence. Therefore, the engagement is lawful and recorded. Above all, it protects the workers and keeps you clear of penalties.
Many businesses need it for clear reasons. First, principal employers who engage contract labour above the set number. Next, contractors who supply workers. Also, factories and sites with outsourced work. Because engaging without it brings action, timely compliance matters.
