HOURS UNIT Clause Samples
The "HOURS UNIT" clause defines the standard measurement of work time for the purposes of the contract, typically specifying what constitutes a unit of work, such as an hour. In practice, this clause clarifies how labor or services are tracked and billed, ensuring that both parties agree on the increments used for payment calculations or progress tracking.
