HI MY NAME IS LAURA AND I HAVE A LEGAL QUESTION I NEED HELP WITH. I HAVE SEVERAL ROUTES THAT I DO FOR A COMPANY AND LATELY WHEN I HAVE BEEN INVOICEING THEM MY INVOICES COME BACK WITH AMOUNTS LINED THROUGH AND THEY CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO WHAT THEY FEEL IT SHOULD BE AND THEN SEND ME A CHECK FOR LESS THEN THE ORIGINAL INVOICE WAS. IS THIS LEGAL? AND THE COMPANY ALSO TAKES MONEY OUT OF MY CHECK TO PAY OTHER INDEPENDANT CONTRACTOR WHO DID WORK FOR THEM BUT IS WAS GETTING PAID FOR. SHOULDNT THE OTHER CONTRACTOR BILL BE? CAN A CORPORATION DO THIS?

Do you have a contract with the corporation? If so, it should indicate what you can bill for and the manner in which the invoice should be structured. If you didn't negotiate a contract or sign one they provided, then it becomes an issue of what you think and what they allow. If you don't have a contract, or if you think the corporation is violating a contract, you may need to contact an attorney. You might start by asking the company for a copy of their payment guidelines. Most companies furnish that at the time you contract with them.
