The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that with the state nearly broke, California has frozen nearly $4 billion worth of loans for public building projects. The unprecedented move is expected to halt construction all over the state – and inevitably, leave contractors, subcontractors and suppliers bickering with one another about outstanding payments and work.
With an estimated more than 200,000 works affected by the funding freeze, it’s likely that even California laborers will find themselves with claims for unpaid wages.
If you and your company are working on a public project affected by this spending freeze, you will want to file a Stop Notice to preserve your rights to Get Paid for work performed.
