Temporary work in construction: reasons and conditions
Temporary work has been authorized in construction since 2002. The collective agreement of December 4, 2014 sets three reasons and sectoral conditions to verify before the assignment.
Article 3 permits replacement of a permanent worker on leave, temporary increase in work volume, and placement for permanent hiring. Articles 5 and 6 govern agreement or information and consultation of the union delegation depending on the reason.
Articles 7 and 8 require an approved construction temporary work agency and a separate legal entity. Verify the required approval and its mention in the contract. Article 3 requires a construction safety training certificate of at least sixteen hours, subject to equivalences and exemptions it provides.
Article 11 prohibits daily contracts and limits assignment of the same temporary worker to the same company to six months for temporary increase. Article 12 prohibits replacing work normally performed by employees on temporary unemployment with temporary workers. The collective agreement applies since October 1, 2014.
