WORK WAIT Clause Samples
The WORK WAIT clause establishes the conditions under which work on a project or contract may be temporarily paused or delayed. Typically, this clause outlines the circumstances that justify a work stoppage, such as awaiting approvals, materials, or resolving unforeseen issues, and may specify the procedures for notifying relevant parties and resuming work. Its core practical function is to provide a clear process for handling interruptions, thereby minimizing disputes and ensuring all parties understand their responsibilities during periods of inactivity.
