Is it illegal in Wisconsin for contractors to work on weekends and/or holidays?Summary: Are there any state laws, restricting hours of construction work, for the comfort and well-being of renters in Wisconsin?
ANSWER: Is it illegal in Wisconsin for contractors to work on weekends and/or holidays? (the rest of the questions are landlord/tenant that are outside the scope of my expertise and the inquirer can use the email address below to obtain the name of a landlord tenant attorney). I am unaware of any specific statute, either federal or state, that generally prohibits a contractor in a residential construction project from working on weekends or holidays. There may be municipal ordinances on this issue, and additionally, there may be union contracts and/or public contracts which have provisions addressing this issue. Also, in the event of a public construction project (as opposed to a residential project), there may be federal or state regulations or statutes impacting this issue. My suggestion is to contact a public contract lawyer to look into the specific facts of your case. I suggest emailing the Wisconsin State Bar Lawyer Referral Service to obtain the contact information with a lawyer with expertise in this area at LRISResponse@wisbar.org.
