Practice question: Rights of Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s Employees

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A contractor’s employment form lists only a company name and a monthly payroll total, omitting the individual wage rate, workplace and specific work. Does the aggregate figure necessarily satisfy Section 11(a)?
  1. Yes; an aggregate total supplies every term.
  2. Yes; employees may never know their own rate.
  3. Only the service agreement can mention wages.
  4. The worker’s signature automatically fills all omissions.
  5. No; the required individual employment stipulations remain missing.
