Florida rules that this document follows

Prompt payment to subcontractors	The contractor must pay the subcontractor when the contractor has been paid by the owner for the subcontractor's labor, services or materials and the subcontractor's payment request and required waivers are in. Late payment carries the rate in Fla. Stat. § 55.03 plus 12% per year, starting on the 14th day after payment is due.Source: Fla. Stat. § 715.12(4), (5)(a)
Retainage cap on private work	No statutory cap was confirmed — retainage is whatever the subcontract says, and should never exceed what the owner holds from the general contractor
Pay-if-paid clauses	Florida enforces a pay-if-paid clause when the contract shifts the risk of owner non-payment in clear and unambiguous words; otherwise it is read as pay-when-paid.Source: DEC Elec., Inc. v. Raphael Constr. Corp., 558 So. 2d 427 (Fla. 1990)
Anti-indemnity statute	An indemnity clause in a construction contract is void to the extent it makes the subcontractor answer for the indemnitee's sole negligence; indemnity for shared fault is still allowed.Source: Fla. Stat. § 725.06
Subcontractor lien rights	An unpaid subcontractor may record a mechanics lien against the project; the chapter below sets the preliminary-notice and filing deadlines, which run from the subcontractor's last work, not from the general contractor's.Source: Fla. Stat. §§ 713.001–713.37 (Construction Lien Law)
Uninsured subcontractor — workers' compensation	A contractor is liable for and must secure workers' compensation for the employees of a subcontractor that has not itself secured coverage.Source: Fla. Stat. § 440.10(1)(b)
Contractor licensing	Construction Industry Licensing Board / local licensing boards — The registration or certification number of the contractor must appear in each offer of services, business proposal, bid, contract or advertisement, in any medium.Source: Fla. Stat. § 489.119(5)(b)
