SEMINAR: The Brass Tacks for getting Paid!

$50.00Event Navigation
* New Prompt Payment Legislation – Bill 30 Explained
You cannot afford to miss this in-person seminar! If you are:
- The owner or CEO – you will decide when to use prompt payment tools and civil enforcement.
- The CFO, accounts receivable or collections – you need to know your options and specifically when and how you must respond.
- Providing legal advice – you need to understand the benefits and the limitations of, and the intricacies of how an adjudicated determination plays with other legal options.
- Offering wholesale supply – it is in your best interest to inform all your clients why adjudication is a proactive tool to getting paid.
Of all the options available to contractors, once payment is past due (28 days), using Alberta’s Prompt Payment adjudication system is your most effective payment dispute settlement mechanism.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn firsthand the Brass Tacks and essential details of working the Prompt Payment system to your advantage. Get your money into your pocket – fight later if you must!
Yes, there may be a counter litigation later, but with a successful adjudication you can have the disputed funds in your pocket before any further litigation. Courts rarely overturn an adjudicator’s determination!
