Two important but often confused types of insurance that help manage employee risks are Employers Liability and Employment Disputes Liability insurance. While both relate to your obligations as an employer, they protect you from very different threats.
An exemption to the Building Act means single-storey, stand-alone dwellings less than 70sqm can be built without requiring a building consent. There are conditions to meet, so it’s critical builders understand that failure comply with these conditions could leave you exposed to liability.
In construction, one of the costliest risks builders face stems from failing to put written contracts in place. If a dispute arises, having no contract could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
