Compensability Clause Samples
The Compensability clause defines the circumstances under which a party is entitled to receive compensation for additional work, delays, or changes beyond the original contract terms. In practice, this clause outlines the process for submitting claims, the types of events that may trigger compensation—such as unforeseen site conditions or client-requested changes—and any documentation required to support such claims.
