Employer duties

At what threshold does construction notification become mandatory?

Notification becomes mandatory when either threshold is crossed: work lasting more than 30 working days with more than 20 workers present continuously, OR work exceeding 500 person-days. The notification goes to the Ministry's provincial directorate of labour and employment and is displayed as a board on the construction area. It is a separate document from the plan; having prepared the plan does not discharge the notification duty.

Two thresholds, joined by "or"

ThresholdMeasure
Duration + headcountMore than 30 working days with more than 20 workers present continuously
Volume of workMore than 500 person-days

They are joined by "or", not "and": one is enough. A short but crowded job and a long small job can trigger the same duty.

Where it goes, where it stays

The notification is given to the Ministry's provincial directorate of labour and employment and displayed as a board on site. Displaying is a second step; a notification filed away is not enough.

Separate from the plan

The notification is a separate document. A frequent mistake is putting a notification section inside the plan and never filing the notification itself.

If the threshold moves

Headcount changes during a project. The duty arises the moment the threshold is crossed; "we were 15 at the start" does not protect a site that later reached 25. The threshold is therefore a monitored value, not a one-off calculation.
