A Vermont subcontractor agreement is used to authorize a subcontractor to work under a general contractor and ensure both parties understand their responsibilities and the assignment details. The form is typically created before the subcontractor begins their task to protect the client and contractor if the subcontractor does not fulfill their duties and to clearly define the payment terms.

The document also allows the subcontractor and contractor to decide how contract disagreements will be resolved, whether the subcontractor has the right to hire additional workers, and which party will be authorized to terminate the contract early.
