I will preface this by saying I know quick action was required. In the awarding of contracts, does the Department check the compliance of these contractors with labour laws, the minimum wage, sectoral pay agreements and proper terms and conditions? Are checks done on the quality of the contracts with regard to workers' rights and checking that they are getting whatever level of pay they should be getting under sectoral pay agreements, or the minimum wage for those who are not covered by those, as well as holiday entitlements?
