Understanding Statutory Compliance: What Should Contractors and Principal Employers Know?

Statutory Compliance for Contractors and Principal Employers

Can anyone tell me about the statutory compliance that is performed by a contractor and a Principal Employer? What kind of forms should be maintained by a principal employer and a contractor? What are the limits of contractual labor applicability in an establishment?
