Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona
Un-licensed handyman
I have been working for a homeowner doing odd jobs. Agreement was hourly work turn in time card every friday, paid every friday. This worked well for 1 month. Homeowner leaves town for 3 1/2 weeks, gives me list of projects to keep me busy while gone. I turn in time card when he returns. He is disputing my time and refuses to pay all. Offered 1/3 of what i turned in. What can i do to get paid the full amount for what i did? He refuses to sit down with me so we can go over everything i did.

Hi,
Depending on the amount you will have to file a civil claim, in Small Claims Court, against the homeowner. At the same time, you should look into filing preliminary notice of liens in the future, so that you can avail yourself of the option to file a lien later on.
