    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    They compared his work to others and had him in for a meeting. At the end of the day, there’s different levels of skills in every job but being able to assemble a flat pack piece of furniture doesn’t make you a time served joiner and customers want perfection. I’d want a first aider to attempt...

    Oh never thought about insurance, we pay a lot in business insurance as I added every extra I just never thought about asking them :)

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    It’s sickening, wish he’d stuck with working for private customers. I’ve told him what your suggestions are, he’s going to stick to his guns and demand full payment, will tell suppliers/hmrc we need time and just try muddle through whilst he earns off future works. Our subbies are all paid...

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    7 days is what I’ve read online regarding the Construction Act as it says leaving the site without proper notice can lead to termination by the contractor and they can ask a new subcontractor to finish the work and charge it to the original subcontractor

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    Thanks all for your advice, I do appreciate it. His paperwork got a bit lax so some of the jobs mentioned the price agreed in emails, some was over the phone but surely they legally can’t suddenly dispute an invoice they received 60 days ago that had 30 day terms

    He has stopped work for them as of yesterday and demanded payment but am worried of the penalties he could incur as he hasn’t given them 7 days notice, even though they breached contract first by not paying

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

Errr no I need the £10k as agreed, well tough we only going pay £5k - walk away and...

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    he owes just over half of their invoices amounts out to hmrc/suppliers so if they pay everyone gets paid, if he reduces invoices everyone gets paid apart from him and if they don’t pay, we could go under :(

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    I’m worried though as read online he has to given written notice to suspend work giving 7 days notice (which would mean he has to finish the current job) and then has no leverage and also cannot take on other work where he will get paid?

    They are a large well known company, am pretty sure it’s just greed trying to increase their margins

    Contractor not paid subcontractor

    Hi all, newbie here looking to drawing on your wisdom 🙏 My other half has been working as a subbie for a large contractor most of this year in between other works. They were great at first, he did the work, it was signed off and invoices paid after 30 days, then they would call him and say we...
