What if the contract is held by a Joint Venture?
In the case of a Joint Venture (JV), King County public rule requires that all joint venture members, as well as the JV comply with the ordinance. Equal Benefit forms will be required to show current and planned hiring for the project from JV members. Is it very common for joint ventures to have no employees, and instead rely on the underlying companies to supply the workforce, therefore updated compliance forms may be required when the JV begins hiring employees. Regardless of when compliance forms are collected, it will always be with the understanding that all members and JV will meet the requirements of Equal Benefits.
