Terms & Conditions

LabourBase operates an online marketplace that connects construction companies directly with independent construction workers. LabourBase is not a labour agency and does not employ the workers on the platform.

By using LabourBase you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Companies post jobs setting out the trade, rate, location and start date. Workers apply, and the company chooses who to hire. The working relationship is directly between the company and the worker.

Worker profiles show ratings from previous employers, attendance percentages, verified qualifications, CSCS card details and work history. While we verify the information we can, companies remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and for carrying out any checks they require.

LabourBase charges the hiring company a separate flat fee of £1 per hour worked per worker. Workers are not charged this fee and receive the full hourly rate they choose. There are no percentage markups or deductions from worker pay.

Fees are invoiced as notified through the platform and are payable within the period stated on the invoice.

Companies are responsible for providing accurate job information, a safe working environment, and complying with all applicable employment, health and safety, tax and right-to-work obligations.

Companies must not use the platform to discriminate, to post misleading jobs, or to circumvent the platform to avoid fees.

Ratings, attendance figures and work history are provided by previous employers and workers. LabourBase takes reasonable steps to verify qualifications and CSCS cards but does not guarantee the accuracy of all profile information and is not responsible for a worker's conduct or performance.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Otherwise, LabourBase is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, or losses arising from the acts or omissions of workers or companies using the platform.

Our total liability to you in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you have paid to LabourBase in that period.

We may suspend or close accounts that breach these terms or misuse the platform. You may stop using LabourBase at any time; fees for work already carried out remain payable.

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, and continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
