As part of our ongoing commitment to making Payapps the leading solution for managing progress claims, we conduct a periodic review of our adherence to SOPA and Construction Contract Act (CCA) legislation.

Although the template used is already compliant, we're making a few minor changes to the Payment Schedules (both Lump Sum and Schedule of Rates contracts) to improve clarity and alignment with terminology used in legislation.

Lump Sum Payment Schedule - Upcoming Changes

Page 1:

  • 'Claim' changed to 'Payment Claim' - Payment Claim #, Payment Claim Date, Payment Claim Period
