Building Owner Clients

Potentially liable for unpaid wages and uninsured accidents. High turnover also compromises service & safety.

POTENTIAL LIABILITY
The line between the janitorial contractor and the client can sometimes blur especially when client building managers and facility personnel interact with subcontracted janitorial employees. If it can be determined that the client is knowledgeable of illegal activities and/or in some way participated in the supervising of janitors while labor laws are being broken, the client may be on the hook legally and financially.

LOWERED SERVICE
When a building owner hires an unscrupulous contractor that skirts minimum wage laws and forces janitors to work under sweatshop-like conditions, employee turnover is very high. With a revolving door, new workers take weeks and sometimes months to be trained on building procedures and particular client needs.

LOWERED SAFETY & SECURITY
With a revolving workforce, janitors often lack training on health and safety and are more prone to accidents on site. More importantly for clients, with so many people coming and going, it is difficult to maintain the security and peace of mind one has with a more stable workforce.
