Right to get paid signed into law by President Clinton
It just makes sense that you want to get paid for the work you’ve done. It’s not always that easy, but it may get a bit easier.
The “Construction Industry Payment Protection Act of 1999” (HR1219) passed the Senate by unanimous consent recently, and was signed into law by President Clinton August 17. It takes effect March 2000 and will, according to the ASA, “better ensure that the federal government’s payments for labor and/or materials furnished by construction subcontractors and suppliers on federal and federally funded projects reach the companies that performed the work.”
