Employment Issues in Condominiums

CCI Grand River Condo Podcast

If you need help deciding whether to hire a superintendent or a building service provider for your condominium, this episode is for you!

Condo boards are responsible for ensuring the repair and maintenance of their common elements, and one important piece to this is delegation. Some boards opt to have live-in superintendents, and some hire building services providers. We’re talking about the differences and various implications of hiring an employee vs. independent contractor in this episode.

Chris Mendes of SV Law introduces our panel: Michelle Weigel of Weigel Property Management, Christine Merswolke of LCM Property Services, and Marni Outerbridge of SV Law.

In this episode we hear from Michelle on:

• How to determine whether a service provider or employee is the best choice
• The benefits and drawbacks of hiring an employee vs a service provider
• The responsibility of the Board of Directors when hiring and managing an employee
• How to maintain sustainability and consistency when Board of Directors change regularly
