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?
