Concept in Definition ABC

The term contractor is very frequent in the context of labor relations. When in a contract for the provision of services there are two protagonists: the contractor and the contractor. The first is the one who takes the initiative to require a service external to his own activity. And the second is the one that provides said service after having received the corresponding assignment.

An agreement is reached between the contractor and the contractor, which is embodied in a service provision contract.

Contract of service

The parties involved in these agreements establish general working conditions, for example, a schedule, a remuneration and a series of conditions (for example, a deadline in the execution of the work or a policy of compliance).

The contract for the provision of services is a contract of the nature trade, which means that it is not an employment contract. This means that, on the one hand, someone requests a service and, in parallel, another individual who provides a specific service to the first. Let's see this general idea with a concrete example: a hairdresser finds herself in the circumstance that in her business there is a water leak and to solve this situation he requests the services of a plumber, which is the contractor. In this example, the social purpose of the hairdresser is to treat the hair, but if a water leak occurs in this business, the hairdresser must resort to a third party, which is a

professional that he is not subordinate and is independent. A commercial activity contract is established between the hairdresser and the plumber.

Client, contractor and subcontractor

The contractor assumes the responsibility to carry out an activity and for this he sometimes has to turn to another professional outside his activity, that is, a subcontractor. Outsourcing implies that an entity with a certain activity provides an external service, usually a specialized service. The main purpose of outsourcing is to reduce costs in the production.

On conclusion, in this modality of contractual relations there are three protagonists: the client, the contractor and sometimes the subcontractor. The client has a specific need and if he cannot solve it himself he has to resort to another professional, the contractor, who in turn may need another professional, the subcontractor. So that the draft initial client is satisfactory, it is necessary to clearly establish the functions of each of the entities and to This is quite common for a mediator between the client and the contractor, known as the representative of the client.
