I operate a small recruitment agency. I recently hired an IT expert for a short contract to work on our behalf on the client site. After a few weeks, the client let him go as they said his work was shoddy and slow and his time keeping was poor. They refused to sign his last 2 weeks' timesheets unless he fixed up the shoddy work. He refused.
As such, I refused to pay his invoice. I would be interested to know any points of employment law or previous cases that relate to having to pay someone for clearly unsatisfactory work.
Also I believe this isn't an employment issue as he was a contractor, it's a contractual issue.
Again any comments welcome.
