Managing Contractor Complexity
Managing contractors at scale involves far more than processing timesheets. Enterprise environments carry operational, financial and reputational risk if contractor management is not governed effectively.
Key areas of complexity include:
Governance & Compliance
Legislative obligations, employment checks, modern slavery requirements, sham contracting risk and conflicts of interest.
Industrial Relations & Risk
Award and EBA interpretation, IR and ER matters, Fair Work obligations, grievances and dispute resolution.
Workforce Operations
Onboarding and induction compliance, contract extensions and tenure management, market rate consistency, supplier performance.
Chandler Macleod’s contractor management outsourcing model brings these elements together through a single, integrated framework.
Our Contractor Management Delivery Model
Our delivery model combines dedicated client-facing teams with national specialist support to ensure every aspect of contractor management is covered.
