Public Works Consultant, LLC, has released a list of best practices to help contractors manage the safety, regulatory, and scheduling challenges of the holiday season.
UPLAND, Calif., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "We know the holidays can present difficulties for contractors, as employees and subcontractors frequently request time off," says Karissa Scott, CEO and founder of . "This can lead to a number of other issues, from staffing to ensuring holiday pay and vacation days are processed correctly."
Scott says planning and organization are crucial and recommends that contractors begin thinking about staffing for the holidays early. "It's helpful to give a cut-off date for time off requests so you can plan appropriately. Then you can decide how to deal with absences and possibly make plans to hire temporary workers."
However, it's essential to ensure that temp workers receive all the appropriate safety training as regular employees, even if they only fill in for a few days. Contractors must have up-to-date training materials in multiple languages and allow time for new hires to receive the necessary training.
When processing vacation, overtime, and holiday pay, following regulations is necessary to avoid difficulties and potential fines. However, many owners and managers aren't experts on the complex laws surrounding these topics. If this is the case, seeking help from a like Public Works Consultant, LLC, may be the best solution.
"We can take care of payroll compliance and ensure your business handles bonuses, vacation pay, overtime, and more correctly," says Scott. "That way, you can focus on getting the work done instead of wondering if you understood a regulation or worrying that you could have inadvertently made an error."
