The customer didn't allow me to complete the job. Should I get payment from her still?

This happened to my friend. He was contracted to do a job for his client. As he just started the job, the client called that he should stop work on the order. The client is coming to take her materials bought for the job. Should the guy demand the client make payment still for the little effort done?

As long as the dealer didn't have any fault that truncated the job, he must get his payment. At worst, half payment.

Yes! He should be paid at least some part of the money. If there is a contract, the client have breached the terms of the contract and must compensate your friend.

If a customer prevents you from completing a job, you may still be entitled to payment for work done, materials used etc but the specific amount you can claim will depend on your contract

If the client prevents you from completing your job, it's not your fault. You should get paid, at least partially or according to the contract.

Yes that's not his fault. you get your pay according to the agreement maybe something a little bit lesser

If there was no issue on the side of your friend, and he has done part of the job, then yes he should request for something, even if it's not up the actual payment.

I also feel as long as he started the job and he didn't have any issue, he should be paid something still. Some people would even hold out for full payment.

Yes, your friend should be compensated for the materials, even if he was told to stop the job. His efforts, no matter how small, deserve payment.
