Contract and performance
Who do I actually sign the contract with?
Are these respectable clients?
Will you still be my contact if I have any problems?
What documents am I expected to provide?
And what do the authorities require of me?
As a German company, W & W Personaleinsatz GmbH is familiar with the legal landscape. We know exactly which invoicing regulations must be followed in Germany. Helping you with this is part of our service.
Will you help me compile all the documents?
When do I start working?
As soon as you have signed all the documents, you can get started. Start as soon as possible or choose a long-term project with sufficient preparation time.
Is there such a thing as "trial work"?
You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 24 hours of the start of the project if the client does not suit you.
During this time, you can also convince him of the quality of your work. If they have any doubts about the suitability of your team for the project, you will be given the opportunity to provide a replacement within 72 hours. Otherwise, the client can also withdraw from the contract free of charge.
Can a project be terminated prematurely?
The satisfaction of contractor and client is our obligation.
If you are dissatisfied with the progress of the project, the circumstances on the construction site or the client due to serious violations, you can terminate the contract without notice. In such a case, we will endeavor to find a replacement project for you.
What about a cancellation period?
A mutual notice period of 7 calendar days is agreed at any time (e.g. if the project ends prematurely).
Costs and invoicing
Do you bill on an hourly basis or on a performance basis?
Are there any additional payments on top of the hourly wage?
With us, you receive the best possible remuneration. Of course, all additional expenses (such as consulting, travel or accommodation) are already included. This is fair and simplifies billing for you.
That's why you get above-average hourly rates for each trade - we make sure that your crew doesn't work below value.
Is that even worth it for me?
You'll benefit from new tenders every day, attractive work contracts, fast contract conclusion, high hourly rates, simple organization and our perfect support at a low fee.
With us, you will become a successful subcontractor on German construction sites.
How do I get my money?
What is the billing frequency?
What happens if the client doesn’t pay?
We support you here too. We remind the client on the first day the invoice is due and our reminder procedure begins after three days. You will receive a copy of all processes. We will work intensively with you to find a quick solution.
We make sure that your work is paid on time.
What about your fee?
We will transfer all incoming payments to you on the same day. The fee for our services is simply deducted from this. This means that you will not incur any costs as long as invoices that are due have not been paid. We summarize our remuneration once a month on a collective invoice for your bookkeeping.
Who will take care if damage has occurred?
As a subcontractor in the construction industry, you are insured against damage claims. We will ask you to confirm this. If possible, you can rework damage directly on site by arrangement. To ensure that nobody is left with the costs in the event of a claim, we support clients and contractors with a quick and clean settlement.
So you’re not alone.
Working hours
How many workers can I use?
That depends entirely on the project. To ensure that an assignment makes sense for you, we strive for projects for at least two men. We also receive requests for solo self-employed workers and for large construction crews consisting of several trades.
How long does a project take?
Anything from two weeks to a year is possible. However, we recommend long-term partnerships over several projects.
We keep an eye on this and organize extensions over months if the cooperation on the construction site works well.
How many hours per week am I allowed to work?
We know that your journey is only worthwhile if you work more than 40 hours a week. That's why most projects allow 50 hours or more.
How your crew organizes its working time depends on the construction site (e.g. accessibility).
Is Saturday work as well possible?
Of course, it is possible to work on Saturdays if the project schedule permits and the collaboration works. We will support you with questions about working hours.
What about break times?
In principle, you can determine your own break times. However, they should fit in with the construction site schedule.
Requirements
Do I need to speak German?
German-speaking craftsmen are in great demand. For efficient communication on the construction site, at least one colleague needs foreign language skills (e.g. English or German). It is therefore advisable to be able to offer several languages. However, this is not always a requirement.
Do I need any special qualifications?
Of course, clients need subcontractors with experienced specialists for their projects. In the tender, you can see what qualifications the client expects and whether the requirements suit you and your team. Experienced helpers are also often needed.
Our unique evaluation system allows you to prove your special performance as a Top Partner or Gold Partner. This will help you when applying to all clients. Find out more here.
Do I need a journeyman’s or master craftsman’s certificate?
No - the clients know that "Geselle" and "Meister" are German training designations, which do not exist in this form in most European countries. However, this says nothing about your skills and quality of work.
Am I expected to bring my own tools?
Standard tools (worn on the person) and personal protective equipment (e.g. safety helmet, goggles, welding shield, hearing protection, gloves, S3 safety shoes or safety harness) are usually expected. Large and special tools, scaffolding, ladders and steps are provided by the client.
How do I get to the construction site?
It has proven to be practical for your employees to arrive in their own vehicles. This allows them to remain flexible and independent on site.
What about the accommodation?
Of course, your crew will need suitable accommodation. If the client does not rent accommodation from their own property, we will be happy to help you find it. In addition, you will receive a €3.00 higher hourly rate as compensation. You can find more information about accommodation in the invitation to tender.
