An effective way to **track subcontractor insurance and compliance documents** is to define the required documents for every subcontractor, collect them through a form, record each expiry date and block site access or payments when a document is missing or expired.

In **Jestor**, documents are linked to each subcontractor, so the company knows who is compliant before they start work.

## Why do subcontractor documents expire unnoticed?

Insurance certificates, licenses and safety documents are collected at the start of the relationship and filed. Nobody checks them again.

Subcontractors work on site with expired insurance, exposing the company to risk.

Collecting documents again for every project wastes time.

## What problems does document tracking solve?

- Subcontractors working with expired insurance
- Missing documents discovered after an incident
- Repeated document requests for every project
- No overview of compliance status
- Payments made to non-compliant subcontractors

## How do I track subcontractor documents in Jestor?

1. **Define required documents** for each type of subcontractor.
2. **Collect documents** through a form, using **OCR** to read data.
3. **Record expiry dates** for each document.
4. **Create a view** of documents expiring in the next 60 days.
5. **Add validations** that block site access or payment when documents are expired.

| Status             | Effect                     |
| ------------------ | -------------------------- |
| Compliant          | Can work and be paid       |
| Expiring soon      | Renewal requested          |
