Every NEPA-PRO Tradesmen engagement runs on a stack of expertly-drafted, distinct-purpose documents — six that onboard our 1099 subcontractor tradespeople, and three that protect both sides on every customer booking. Each document covers its own ground; together they make the platform legally sound.
NEPA-PRO Tradesmen is structured deliberately: NEPA-PRO LLC operates the labor staffing platform; every tradesperson is a vetted independent 1099 subcontractor who has signed a six-document onboarding packet; and every customer accepts a three-document booking-protection packet at checkout. Each document does one job — that's how we keep the model rock-solid without contradictions.
NEPA-PRO LLC is a Pennsylvania platform that vets, dispatches, and processes payment. Every dispatched tradesperson is a verified independent contractor with active license, insurance, and background check on file before their first job.
Six documents establish the 1099 relationship: master agreement, tax info, FCRA-compliant background authorization, banking, credentials & insurance proof, and field-conduct standards. No tradesperson is dispatched without the packet countersigned.
Three documents cover the customer side: master service terms, jobsite safety attestation (with hazardous-material disclosure and PA One Call utility marking), and a liability waiver capping risk per booking. Accepted at Stripe checkout; signed copies available on request.
Before any job dispatch, every tradesperson on the NEPA-PRO Tradesmen platform completes the full onboarding packet. Each document covers a single, distinct legal or operational purpose — there is no overlap, no redundancy, and no tradesperson skips a document.
Establishes the 1099 independent contractor relationship: scope, compensation, the subcontractor's insurance requirements, mutual indemnification, confidentiality, 12-month non-solicitation, term & termination, and dispute resolution under Pennsylvania law.
Substitute IRS Form W-9 — collects taxpayer identification (SSN or EIN), federal tax classification, and the certification under penalty of perjury required for NEPA-PRO LLC to issue the annual 1099-NEC.
Standalone FCRA-compliant disclosure and authorization for criminal history, motor vehicle record, identity verification, and license-validation checks. Required to be a separate document by federal law.
Bank account information and Nacha-compliant ACH credit/debit authorization so that NEPA-PRO LLC can issue weekly compensation payments and recover any deposit credited in error.
Operational compliance record: trade license numbers and expirations, specialty certifications (OSHA-30, EPA 608, AWS/ASME welding, NCCCO crane, etc.), insurance carrier & policy data, and 7-day change-notification commitment.
Day-to-day standards on customer jobsites: minimum PPE, OSHA self-compliance, drug- and alcohol-free policy, conduct on customer property, stop-work authority, 24-hour incident reporting, quality & documentation requirements.
Customers accept these three documents by submitting payment through Stripe checkout — they're incorporated by reference into every booking. Wet-signature copies are available for general contractors, property managers, and commercial customers who maintain a paper file for every engagement.
Master booking terms: service description, what's included and what's excluded (engineering, permits, materials, hazmat remediation), payment, overtime, cancellation tiers, customer obligations, AS-IS labor disclaimer, 30-day workmanship warranty, and Pennsylvania governing law.
Customer's pre-dispatch certification: PA One Call (811) utility marking, hazardous-material disclosure (asbestos, lead, mold, PCBs, oil tanks), site access, lighting, on-site contact, and acknowledgment of the tradesperson's stop-work authority for unsafe conditions.
Allocation of risk: customer indemnification for undisclosed jobsite conditions; liability cap equal to the booking amount; exclusion of consequential damages; 30-day claim notice; mediation, optional binding arbitration in Scranton, jury-trial and class-action waivers.
Once you've completed any document above, return it by email to service@nepa-pro.com with the document code in the subject line (for example: "NPSA-001 — Jane Doe"). Mailed copies are also welcome at our Clarks Summit office. Subcontractor packets must be received and countersigned by NEPA-PRO LLC before any job dispatch; customer packets are typically accepted at Stripe checkout, with signed copies kept on file by request.
