LD 2049

This bill would amend labor laws to make subcontractors and general contractors jointly and severally liable for damages owed to subcontractor's employees as the result of the subcontractor's violation of certain employment laws. Unless otherwise provided in an enforceable contract between the subcontractor and general contractor, the subcontractor would be required to indemnify the general contractor for any wages, damages, interest, penalties and attorney's fees owed as a result of the subcontractor's violations. The same conditions would apply to the relationship between an employer and employment agency with the employment agency bearing responsibility to indemnify the employer.
