This is a part of a contract that I, after 17 years in the business have run across, and would like to get an opinion on the legalities. I live in the Pittsburgh area. C. The Company will deduct $100 from each paycheck until a retainer is met in the amount of $1500.00 to be held by the company. The retainer will be returned in full to the Independent Contractor after one full year following the last installation performed by the Independent contractor unless any chargebacks are incurred within this time period, of which the amount owed will be deducted from the full retainer amount.
