When he says "I'm done"
Contractors place liens on customers if they do not pay. If your serious and paid before work was completed. you need to take the contractor to small claims, report him to the BBB and the Licensing Board of your State. But never pay until the job is done. If its a big Job pay 10% up front, 50% at the half way and the remainder when the job is complete.
No, you don't have to have it done but it has to be included in your submittal plans. A well is a major project and can produce a lot of problems if done incorrectly. Choose a plumbing contractor carefully.
Typically, the contractor would be liable for damages caused to the neighbor's property. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the work is done correctly and without causing harm to others' property. However, in some cases, the homeowner who hired the contractor may also share liability depending on the specific circumstances and agreements in place. It is important to review the contract and consult with legal experts if necessary.
It all depends on what the contract has stated. Review your contract and try looking for: (refunds, Deposits and incomplete work) Most of the time they keep your deposit, but until they finish everything that has been stated in the contract, you don't have to pay fully. *Sometimes they can charge you for the amount of work that has been done. But in the end it all depends on what you've signed on, the contract.
The key word here is "contractor". The question of the size of the employer's workforce becomes moot when (s)he must deal with a contractor; because, a contractor is not an employee. Those things which govern the actions of and expectations from an employee by a business entity do not apply to a contractor except where stipulated and spelled out in the contract. The same holds true for those things for which a contractor may charge someone: Without a signed contract, a contractor can charge for anything (s)he wants to... It is only when the contract which contains such a stipulation gets signed that any legal and binding obligations to pay come into existence. If You are dealing with a contractor, and the terms of the contract are not to your liking, you need to check around to see if these types of terms are customarily included in contracts for the services for which you are contracting. It may be that what you see IS a customary charge in an acceptable contract. It may also be the case that you are dealing with a contractor who is one of only a few who are prone to include such a charge. Negotiation of the contract may be an option. A contractor's dealings with a small business are not the same as those with a large corporation; and, whereas a large corporation may be accustomed to accommodating a contractor in certain ways, a small business may not. You may have the wrong contractor. All of this is the homework that needs to be done when shopping for a contractor; and, a good fit between contractor, contract, and contractee is the aim for all concerned... ...and it depends on the state. Your contractor (your General Contractor?) may be asking you this because he believes your state to be a "ladder state," meaning liability goes up the ladder until someone can pay. He may require you to carry coverage so he doesn't wind up paying it himself in an audit and having to pay claims from your employees. If so, it's fair and reasonable for him to ask you to carry Comp. Further, though some states would exempt you from coveragerequirements with fewer than 3 employees, no state exempts you from liability.
Genetally contract work, which is done by a "contractor" is for a certain period of time. Like anything from a week long job painting a house to a 15 month project developing a component on a fighter jet and once the work is complete the contractor is no longer needed. He/she isn't fired, just let go at the end of their contracted time frame. A tenured employee would be like a profressor or something..generally these employees cannot be laid off...they can be fired if they do something to warrent it, but they are pretty much permament employees.
