We asked retailers and contractors to share their hiring philosophy for their installation staff. Do they employ installers full-time or sub the work out? What are the advantages and disadvantages surrounding both types of employees? How are retailers reacting to the changing definition of what constitutes an employee versus a subcontractor?
Leonard Zmijewski, CEO, Mr. David’s Flooring International, an INSTALL Warranty Contractor: “Generally we do not sub out work. Instead, we employ many hourly, full time and highly-trained installers who are dedicated to doing the job right.”
