Request payment for work completed on a project: Application for Payment of Contract

You've just completed a contracting project, and are ready to collect payment. Create an Application for Payment of Contract to help protect your rights and responsibilities while getting compensated for your work. You'll want to complete the payment request as soon as you finish the job, so that you can refer to your records if any questions about payment come up.

An Application for Payment of Contract is a useful tool for independent contractors, since it allows you to complete a payment request form for work you've finished on a project. The payment application works like an invoice, in that you can use it at the end of an entire job, or for various stages of a long-term project. If you use sub-contractors, you'll also be able to detail the exact amounts owed to each one. When creating your Payment Request, you'll want to include details like: the payment application number; the period covered by the application; the total contract price in the original contract; the name of the project; the name of the contractor; who's responsible for paying the contractor; and other details of the amount due.
