I have a problem with my contractor
Hello **** ****, I'm sorry to hear about your problem with your contractor. Could you please elaborate on the issue? Also, it would be helpful to know your location as laws may vary.
We didn't get any specific plans like working hours, work ranges, when they would start and end etc. just they said it would take for *-3 days for two people (I have record) and they started and they put two people for three days and put four people for a day. And charged us unnecessary labor fee. I want to give them the minimum wage now. Because even though it was verbal agreement and we didn't sign any document, contracts. Can I do that?
Hello ****, it's important to know where this situation has occurred as laws vary by location. Can you provide this information so I can give you more accurate advice?
