Nothing came back. That is better for you than a schedule that cuts you
A payment schedule is the builder’s formal answer to your payment claim: what they propose to pay and why it is less than you claimed. The Act gives them a fixed number of business days to serve one, counted from the day you served your claim.
If that window closes and nothing has come back, they become liable for the full amount you claimed. Not the amount they think is fair, the amount on your claim. What you do with that depends on the state and on whether the Act there gives them a second chance first, which is what this page works out.
On a real job, you do not type any of this
YourCA reads your head contract, works out the dates it puts on you and warns you before each one closes: claim day three days out, a variation notice window two days before it shuts, their payment schedule the day it is late. Every figure shows the clause it came from.
