As an employee of HVAC construction company the owner accepted the terms of a contract and signed the contract. A couple of days later the general contractor sent a request for a initialed signature of the scope of contract. The owner was out of the office so I as an employee of the company initialed the scope and sent back to the general contractor. Do I personally have a financial liability if my company stops work in the middle of the contract or does that fall to the employer?

Thank you for the post, I am happy to assist you by answering your questions. Was the owner later advised of your signing the contract? If so, did he affirm this was the right thing to do?
The owner was made aware and the project continued. Friday he decided to try and write a change order which the generals reply was it's in the contract. This became a point of contention and now I am unemployed since Monday.
Thank you Lyle, any liability arising out of the company's election to stop work would shouldered by the owner of the company, it is not your liability. This is because the owner affirmed the terms of the contract by commencing work after learning it was signed. Please let me know if you need additional guidance.
