54. The wages due by a sub-contractor constitute a solidary obligation between the sub-contractor and the contractor with whom he has contracted, and between the sub-contractor, the sub-contractor with whom he has contracted, the contractor and every intermediary sub-contractor.
Where the employer holds the appropriate licence issued under the Building Act (chapter B-1.1), such solidary obligation is extinguished six months after the end of the work carried out by the employer, unless the employee concerned filed a complaint with the Commission concerning his wages, a civil action was brought, or a claim was sent by the Commission pursuant to the third paragraph of subsection 1 of section 122 before the expiry of the six-month period.
Such solidary obligation extends to the client having contracted, directly or through an intermediary, with a contractor who does not hold the appropriate licence issued under the Building Act, in respect of the wages due by the contractor and each of his sub-contractors.
