Security of Payment / Subcontractor Compliance
A payment claim needs a clear record of every response.
Payment claims, schedules and dispute steps run on rules that vary by jurisdiction and contract. The useful system keeps receipt, response, reasons and supporting documents together for the people responsible for acting.
A working example / Construction
The date of receipt changes what happens next.
An illustrative design question based on this kind of work. This is not a client project, delivered product or claim that every organisation follows this process.

Discovery notes
What has to be checked in the real operation.
The example above frames a design question. These conditions need to be checked with the organisation and its advisers before scope or software behaviour is decided.
- 01
Security of Payment rules vary across jurisdictions. Receipt dates, payment schedules and dispute options need to be checked under the applicable law and contract.
- 02
The time for a payment schedule and the consequences of missing it depend on the applicable law and contract; they need to be checked for each matter.
- 03
Principals and head contractors carry supply-chain obligations that regulators and insurers both scrutinise: licence verification, insurance currency, and subcontract documentation.
- 04
A project tool may track programme and cost while payment claim correspondence remains in email or separate registers.
Link each claim to its response.
Examples to investigate, not off-the-shelf products or a claim that an integration is available.
