Getting work done by laborers

I had ordered for mosquito and rat meshes for the windows and skylights. The men came with the things on Sunday the 5th of Sept had left the work half done on the plea of their shop getting closed by 1'O clock and lied to the shop owner that we had stopped them from doing the work. Today one of them has turned up and doing the work since 9.45 in the morning. I have told him not to go until he finishes the work. For I doubt that he would try to leave once it's 5 pm. How do laborers behave in your country?

That they do here too but if you don't monitor the work they start dilly dallying.

I paid at a time to the owner. Not the labor.

That's sometimes the case also in India.

Yes, that's true in India but there are some who are sincere.

That's nice. Here in India some are good but some really create problems.

His owner was chasing him through calls but he had committed mistakes in measurement which he had to rectify.

I once had a Plumber come to my rental home and say that who would be unable to get the job done until the following day, and that he would reach out to the owners to follow up, he never did either, I think he was intimidated by the task at hand, looking back it's a little comical because he basically ran away from the job :)
In the other hand, I've had technicians come and go the extra mile, really taking pride in their work. I think it's just dependent on the individual but I'm sorry you have been experiencing this and I hope they get the work done nicely and finished for you today.

They did but they almost took 12 hours. They came in the morning and left after 9 at night. I had a tough time cleaning the house.
