Is it good to sub-contract work or hire permanent employees?

Hello everyone 

Running multiple basement full renovation and I have been hiring people and doing the jobs but at time I feel it's way more easier if I sub-contract the work, much lesser stress.

Any advice on which one is better would be really helpful.

Thank you.

    Have you ever thought about providing PT work? The requirements for FT positions can be difficult for a small company to shoulder. Having PT employees removes the burdens from several state and federal requirements. We have also found that there is a larger pool of younger employees who are willing to pick up PT work, and if you get enough of them, you can fill any need you may have for scheduling.

  • Subcontracting is good if you’re busy and can trust them. If you hire someone, you are responsible to train and build that trust in them. So I would say the choice depends on who it is and how they work. Either way nothing like having a payday come in when you’re doing something else.
