Hi, I have engaged a freelancer recruiter for an urgent HR assignment. The HR recruiter left in the middle of work due to personal reasons and did not do complete work in terms of negotiation of salary and documentation follow up.
He is claiming a full percentage of his work in spite of half work done. Are we liable to pay the full amount in this case? Can someone guide on the exit clause, that I can put in a contract, in case of indiscipline or negligence in work, what measures can we take in case of a freelancers contract?

Dear Monika,
Did you make a contract with the recruiter (sub-contractor or service provider)? If yes, then please share the verbatim of the contract related to the completion of the assignment.
If the contract is not made then on what basis the service provider is asking payment? How the payment was decided? Was it for the time spent in the handling the assignment or it was for completion of the specific assignment?
Suppose a person hires a tutor. The tutor takes the tuition of a child. For some reason, the tutor leaves in between. However, as the tutor had provided the services daily, he/she asks for the payment for the days he/she had taken the tuition. Was your arrangement something of this kind?
Thanks,

When the contract is partly performed, the principle of "Quantum Meruit" would apply and the party has to be paid in proportion to the work done. Negotiation of salary, documentation and follow up are yet to be done, so to put it roughly 25% work is left. So you can negotiate and arrive at a mutually agreeable % as the major steps have been completed.

Comments: - Since the candidate has joined the organisation the question of any payment to the recruiter does not arise at all. Thanks, Dinesh Divekar
