Secure Your Payments

Understanding Security of Payments Legislation

  • What is Security of Payments Legislation?

    The Security of Payments legislation is a set of laws designed to ensure that subcontractors in the construction industry get paid promptly for their work. Introduced in 1999, it provides a quick and efficient way to resolve payment disputes without the need for lengthy court battles. This legislation is crucial for maintaining cash flow and protecting the rights of subcontractors.

  • How Does It Work?

    Under this legislation, subcontractors can submit progress claims for payment, and if they are not paid, they can initiate adjudication. This process is designed to be fast, with strict timelines to ensure that disputes are resolved quickly. If a subcontractor is not paid, they have the right to suspend work until payment is received, which helps to enforce accountability among main contractors.

  • Who Can Benefit?

    The primary beneficiaries of the Security of Payments legislation are subcontractors, suppliers or professional service providers -  especially those handling small claims between $5,000 and $100,000. These contractors often lack the resources to challenge larger main contractors, making this legislation vital for their financial stability and operational success.
