The Risks Most Janitorial Vendors Never Mention

You could be liable for your vendor’s mistakes — and most facility managers don’t know it.

  • Unregistered vendor = your fine. If your janitorial contractor isn’t registered with the State of California, you can be fined $2,000–$25,000 (Property Service Workers Protection Act).

  • Your indemnification clause won’t save you. Under Labor Code 2810.3, clients can share liability for their vendor’s wage violations period.

  • One skipped notice, one lawsuit. Under the Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act, a botched vendor transition can let displaced workers sue you, not just the outgoing vendor.

  • Healthcare facilities: a wage gap is a legal gap. If your cleaning vendor pays $19.50/hour instead of the $24/hour healthcare minimum wage (SB 525), you could be facing a Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claim.

  • Costs are up 40% in 3 years and rising. Do you know why, and what you can actually do about it?
