Are we insured during missions with clients?
You are covered by your Civil Liability included in your home insurance. Be careful if you are incorporated, you have the obligation to take a Professional insurance for your company.
If you do not have home insurance and you are not incorporated, then it is Ekoklean On Demand’s insurance that covers your actions with the client in the event of a material problem.
I am incorporated can I apply?
No worries, if you are self-employed or have incorporated your company, you can apply by specifying:
- Your NEQ
- Your GST number
- Your QST number
In this case, do not forget to pay your taxes to “Revenu Québec”. Remember to declare the sales taxes minus the taxes of the commission invoices issued by Ekoklean On Demand.
Ekoklean On Demand only allows registrations of self-employed workers and does not allow the registration of other subcontracted companies.
