Companies, don't try to stiff your consultants for work they've already done. It's a terrible look and it's likely to cost you more than you think you're going to save. Also usually illegal and always immoral, should shame be a feeling you experience.

Consultants, I strongly recommend having language requiring changes to the contract to be put in writing to your non-client email address, having at least a 10% late fee for delayed payments (with no exception in cases where the customer disputes the bill but not the work), and being very particular about how contracts may be terminated, especially if you work on long, open-ended engagements.
