| For the last 10 years, we serviced a large facility 5 days per week with my two ladies putting in an average of 20 hours a week overtime. We never had a problem until one of the ladies with trash bags hanging on her hip, stepped on one coming down three steps, falling and hurting her wrist.
The plant sent her to a local hospital and they ended up saying that all she did was twist her wrist with damage so minor that there was no bruising. After two days of being off work to recover, she complained that it still hurt so I ordered her to our company doctor and found out she actually broke her wrist.
Well, we lost the contract because of the client’s fear that we may go to court and now they refuse to pay the last 4 weeks of invoices which totals almost $20,000 dollars. We called last week after continually sending notices and proof of hours and their response was, "We need proof that you paid your employees and we will, in turn, send you a check"
For some reason, they think I will stiff women who have worked for me over 15 years.
My question is, why do I have to prove what I pay anyone when I am the contractor and they do not run my company nor employees? I have a lawyer that I call from time to time and wonder if I should go ahead and call him or just cave into their demands just to get the check. I guess that demanding me to do something like that makes me mad enough I don't want to.

| I'm operating a small residential/office cleaning business by myself and I recently purchased a residential account from my former employer for $1,200, and verbally agreed to make $100/month installment payments for one year. Two other residential accounts were given as part of the deal. The value of the purchased account is $5,200/year, and the combined value of the two given accounts is $5,720/year.
I have a basic understanding of contracts from an Introduction to Business Law class, and the seller (my former employer) and I only have verbal contracts for residential accounts. My question is, do the seller and I only need a verbal agreement on the terms of the purchased account with written receipts for the installment payments, or should there be a formal written agreement? Aside from the taxes that will be paid on the income from the accounts, are there any other taxes or accounting implications to this purchase?
