I worked for a general contractor for 8 months but he never paid my first weeks pay. Can I lien the project I was working on ?
As an employee of the GC, the answer is definitely no. If you were a contractor for the GC, then you may qualify as a sub entitled to place a lien. If you were an employee, then you can sue the GC for unpaid wages. If you were a sub and your time to place the lien or to comply with notification requirements has lapsed, you can sue the GC for breach of contract.
