Hi,
I am dealing with an account where the SubContractor have submitted loads of Daywork sheets.
The SubContract was let with BoQ, Drawings & Spec.
My understanding is that "daywork" is a record of the work carried out and not necessary a variation.
If Submitted with signature from the MC representative signing say 2 men x 8hrs,plant & materials and I consider that the work involve is part of an original contract work,can the subcontractor still insist that he should be paid based on the Daywork & deduct the measure quantities from the contract?
Does it matter whether the representative had signed the sheet?
Are there any previous case law which clarify this issue of whether it is a Daywork or " a sign for record purposes only"?
As detailed above, it was clear that the men did not spent the whole a day or 8hrs on that job. Can the QS amend according to his assessment or the signed records carry more weight when an Adjudicator view this?
I ready would appreciate if someone can clarify since I have encountered a number of this "daywork" issue in my short experience.
