Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Subcontractor Payments
I work as a subcontractor marine mechanic and I am incorporated. The company I have worked with has defaulted on payments for jobs over 90 days. Unfortunately we do not have in writing any specifications on payment timeframes. Is there anything legal that could help me in obtaining my payments for work already completed?
