If your contractor is delaying the completion of repairs or an item has been made that is of poor quality and you are dissatisfied, the contract designed for such cases is called a contract for work and labor.

Under a contract for work and labor, the contractor undertakes the obligation to manufacture an item or perform work within a certain period, while the customer undertakes the obligation to pay the contractor for the completed work or the agreed value of the item.

Key Principles of a Contract for Work and Labor

  • The contractor is not dependent on the customer;
  • The contractor independently chooses the materials and methods of work;
  • The contract applies to both natural and legal persons;
  • The work is performed independently and at the contractor's own risk.

Subject Matter of a Contract for Work and Labor

The work performed by the contractor may include:

  • Creation of things: construction of a house, apartment renovation, tailoring, food preparation, etc.
  • Creation of intangible property: for example, development of computer software.
  • Modification/restoration of things: repair, alteration, modification, etc.
  • Any other type of work: which produces a certain result.

Important Information

In a contract for work and labor, the contractor is financially and organizationally independent from the customer and is not subordinate to them. The contractor independently decides how and under what conditions to perform the work.
