We've been working for this GC for the past 2 years. I sent them an e-mail one slow day and it turned into some work and some headaches. One very odd project we have been working on, the GC's personal home, is huge and has had every design change you can think of. Our roof was cut into on a daily basis. I have never seen a roof with so many vent pipes for ac plumbing etc...
Anyways we completed the secondary roofing to the tune of $7,000. This was just repairs and changes. The payment was due 3 months ago and I had been getting the run around since. All other jobs were paid on time in full no questions. FInally yesterday their assistant, who is a very nice girl, convinced her boss to pay. She said come on in and sign a waiver and I'll give you the check. Well... the numbers didnt match. Actually their check was for my original numbers but minus the 3 months of late fees.
Their accountant was standing near by helping another sub figure out his check and he asked me "Are those for late fees?" I responded "yes". His response was "Our company policy is not to pay late fees."
You can imagine what I told him.
