Pay Less Notices

What this is

A pay less notice states that the paying party intends to pay less than the notified sum, and why.

Who can use it

Super Admin and Admin.

Where to find it

Open the relevant payment application and use the issue pay less notice action, or use the Notices section of the project.

How to issue a pay less notice

  1. Open the payment application.
  2. Select Issue Pay Less Notice.
  3. Enter the Notice Date (required) and, optionally, a reference.
  4. Confirm the Notified Sum — this is pre-filled from the latest payment notice if one exists, or from the application amount if not. Override it only if required.
  5. Enter the Total Deductions (required) — the amount by which the paying party intends to pay less than the notified sum.
  6. Enter Issued By.
  7. Confirm.

What happens after you issue it

  • The payment application's status becomes PLN Issued.
  • A pay less notice document is generated automatically.
  • The notice and its deadline appear in the project Calendar.

Late notices

If a pay less notice is issued after its deadline (calculated from the contract's terms), SureSign's calendar and dashboards will show it as overdue relative to that deadline. SureSign does not prevent you from issuing a late notice, but issuing late can have real contractual consequences under your contract — check your contract's requirements before issuing.
