The Labor Law defines a labor contractor as a sub-contractor who contracts with an entrepreneur
and who himself recruits the necessary work force or workmen for the execution
of certain work or the provision of certain services for an all-inclusive price. Such a
contract must be in writing. The labor contractor is required to observe the provisions
of the Labor Law in the same manner as an ordinary employer and assumes the same
responsibilities as the latter. In case of insolvency or default by the labor contractor, the
entrepreneur or the manager of an enterprise shall substitute for the contractor to fulfill
his obligations to the workers and the harmed workers. In such case, the workers may
file a case directly against the entrepreneur or manager. Furthermore, the Labor Law requires
the entrepreneur to constantly keep available a list of labor contractors and send
the list to the Labor Inspector’s Office within seven whole days following the date of
signing the labor contract or fifteen days for agricultural enterprises or businesses.
