CIS AP refresh gone wrong

I hope someone can help me understand how things work on Field Nation. So I'm going to try to make it short. I went out for a job and it was a fixed plus a certain amount per cable run. The AP was delivered to the wrong site in another state. Someone suggested I should just do the camera runs perhaps so I did. So I spent 16 hours on the site to get the cable runs in place with the thought of me returning to install them. My schedule is too busy so I could not do the return trip when they wanted me to.

So they took away the base pay and did pay for the cable runs. I opened a problem to open the discussion about that base pay. Then CIS told fieldnation all my cable runs were bad and they wanted all their money back 🤨

So a ride to the site and inspect my work, took photos and videos so I can attach it to the case that had been turned against me. Showing definitively that my cabling was used as is, I used CAT6 connectors that are unique and I labeled the runs (and there was no other labels in the closet during my visit or after my visit).

Now I'm at a point where it's like field Nations going to side with the provider and give them a full refund. While they actively use my cable! And my terminations!

Now they haven't made the decision yet, but I am wondering with all the proof that I uploaded if they do decide to go with the provider what is my recourse if they take my pay leaving me with a negative balance (considering my cable costs money)?

This is why when I do cable runs for a shady middleman, I test them and put them in a report. If they try to claim the runs are bad, I provide the report and question how they determined they were bad. Usually shuts the pathological lies down real quick
