Saturday morning jobs can be, Go when your done and book all morning.
 
I have found in the past that when an employer starts holding back money it usually ends one way. It has happened to me twice in the past (I was directly employed though) the first time I got taken for ÂŁ3500.00 and the second time only about ÂŁ150.00 but I spotted it before it was too late and walked 3 weeks later he went bankrupt.

Try and get your money back but don't hold your breath.

i think I would have emptied the van into my shed if it happened to me, that's a lot of dosh mate.
 
Unfortunatley if your subbing this will happen possibly on a regular basis especially if you are in a city or big town been there know exactly how you feel bud all the best anyway..brum
 
I can see it from both sides I think it's unfair of him to ask you to pay two days wages to test the installation but if there is a few leaks it would cost him money to put right.

from what I can make out you also left early without testing the work. I think you should have stayed to test it as you were on a day rate and it hadn't been finished. From the employers point of view this is a bit of a p*ss take.

he has agreed to pay you some money and the rest after testing. I would make sure you get the first lot and agree a fair price for the rest. What he has offered doesn't seem fair.

If you are subbing on a day rate and you don't work a full day I think he has every right to be annoyed.

The court could perceive it as fraud if you have invoiced at a day rate and left early. It's always best to talk it out rather than mess around with court fees etc.

I did I got 1 transformer, 1 sds drill, 2 leads and a 110v light. The rest of the kit was mine. 1 of the lads sold 1 of the vans! But unfortunately mine was a hire van as the head gasket went on mine.
