A written contract by both parties. We have customers that demand this type of contracts for us.
I'm a CNC machinist/programmer. There is a fairly new law that the government implemented on manufacturing. If you do any manufacturing jobs for the government and you don't complete the job by the contracted date. you will not get paid. Period. I wish that went for all manufacturing for everyone.
However since we can't have dozen page lawyer reviewed/approved "what isn't mentioned, is included" contracts, and then nothing would happen, we could to help the shops out also have the understanding, that when they rush/deliver a block, they get paid in 7? days, or their price goes up 5%? a week, its got to be fair to both sides, just sayin.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
