The Service Provider shall also include in every sub-contract: 34.4.1 a right for the Service Provider to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 56.3 occur; and 34.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 34.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards. In this clause 34.4, ‘sub-contract’ means a contract between two or more service providers, at any stage of remoteness from the Purchaser in a sub-contracting chain, made wholly or substantially for the purpose of performing (or contributing to the performance of) the whole or any part of this Contract. 34.5. Where requested by the Purchaser, copies of any sub-contract must be sent by the Service Provider to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable. 34.6.

SHAM CONTRACTING 49.1 Sham Contracting occurs when an Employer engages an individual to perform building work under a contract for services where the true character of the engagement or proposed engagement is that of employment. 49.2 The Employer agrees they will not engage in Sham Contracting and recognises that the practice of sham contracting is unlawful and undermines the job security of the Employees covered by this Agreement. 49.3 The Employer will not enter into a contract with another person (“the Contractor”) under which services in the nature of building work are to be provided to the employer, if: (a) the services are to be performed by an individual (who is not the Contractor); and the individual has any ownership in, or is an officer or trustee of, the contractor; and (b) if the contract were entered into with the individual, the contract would be a contract of employment. 49.4 The Employer will maintain records about any Contractors that it has engaged in the preceding month which will include: (a) the name of the Contractor; (b) the owner(s) of the Contractor; (c) the works that the Contractor was engaged to perform; (d) basis on which the Contractor was paid for the work e.g. lump sum/fixed price, daily rate, other; and 49.5 The Employer will, within 7 days of receiving a written request from the Union, provide a copy of the records which it is required to keep pursuant to the previous subclause. Nothing in this subclause requires the Employer to provide information in a manner that is inconsistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). 49.6 Where in breach of this clause a sham contract was in place, such that that Contractor was in fact an Employee under this Agreement, the calculation for back pay will be calculated on the basis of the difference between what they were paid under sham contract arrangement and: (a) 175% of the applicable hourly rate contained in this Agreement; and (b) the Site Allowance (if applicable); and (c) the multi-story allowance (if applicable); and (d) Superannuation (BUSSQ), XXXX, CIPQ and BEWT.
