§ 8122 Contract Claimant Rights Protection

• •You can't take away someone's rights to claim money they're owed for work, even if you write it in a contract.
• •If a contract tries to do this, that part of the contract doesn't count and won't be followed.
• •The only way to give up these rights is if the person owing the money signs a special paper saying they don't want the money anymore.

A construction worker is hired to build a house. The contract says that if the worker gets hurt, they can't ask for money to help pay for their injuries.

This part of the contract isn't allowed. The worker can still ask for money if they get hurt. The only way the worker can give up this right is if they sign a special paper saying they don't want the money.
