Can I Stop Working If I Am Not Getting Paid?
On this podcast, we will discuss in detail the answer to one of the most common questions we receive in our construction law firm, if I’m not getting paid, can I stop working, and if I do, how do I get paid? To determine whether or not to stop working if you are not getting paid, you need to consider the following.
- What does your contract say about stopping work?
- What is the status of the work and the payments on the job at the time you want to stop working?
- Does your contract have a pay-when-paid provision?
- Do you have lien or bond rights?
- Are you ready to take the plunge and suffer the possible adverse consequences?
