The impact of law DBA for project organizations
Despite the fact that the law has been around for some time, recent news of stricter enforcement has caused project organizations to also need to re-examine their external hiring and zzp policies and consider risks such as:
- Decrease in flexibility: Projects require rapidly deployable specialists, but the DBA Act makes it increasingly difficult to hire self-employed workers without legal risks.
- Knowledge loss: Independent contractors often bring unique expertise that is difficult to replace. Stricter regulations may make these professionals less employable.
- Impact on deadlines and budgets.: Uncertainty about labor relations can directly affect project progress and cost control.
Self-employed workers often the driving force behind implementation
Whether designing new chemical plants, building renewable energy projects, maintaining infrastructure or offshore operations, self-employed professionals are often the driving force behind execution. A shortage of employable specialists and higher legal risks can have major consequences for the project portfolio.
