I have a business in Washington State and do work as a subcontractor. I gave a 30 day notice to a client on 2/24/17 that 3/26/17 would be the last day of doing jobs for her. Per her contract we are allowed to refuse any jobs within 24 hours of having them assigned to us in the system we use, and had an option to do so. She has now turned off that option and dropped a bunch of jobs into our que. I went to refuse them and can't so I sent her and email. Her reply was that all jobs would be completed that are there before she will cut a check for jobs we have already completed even though she's know for a month today would be the last day we would be completing jobs for her. She's also refusing to pay for jobs that are not submitted before 9 pm even though before we gave notice of dropping her this was never an issue. There are also jobs that she refused to pay for that we did after asking her to reassign them as I had an appointment with my cardiologist and she refused to reassign them. She said that when her daughter in law returned to the area we would be releasted from the remainder of the notice we gave, but we continued to do the jobs up until today as that was the notice she was given. Is it legal for her to force us to do jobs past the date we gave and to keep putting jobs there for us to complete?

It is not legal for the client to not pay you for the work you have completed. Whether what else she is doing is legal depends on the terms of your contract.
You can find an attorney in your area to review the contract to see whether she has breached its terms by going to AttorneyPages.com or the Washington State Bar Association (http://www.wsba.org/).
Good luck, PPC01.
Plans
I plan on talking with my attorney first thing tomorrow morning. This lady hasn't held up to her end of the contract at all. She said we would receive 5.00 per job and 9.00 per loss draft, and we would be paid every 2 weeks. Our frist check was almost 500.00 because we started in the middle of the last week but the very next check was 26.00. When I told her I could not do 2 weeks worth of jobs and get 26.00 and wouldn't be able to do jobs she told me had we been in the same room when I said that she would have punched me right in my injuried arm. I have several other clients and No client refuses to pay for a job 1 day pass due because we don't pass work on to others giving them the same due date that our jobs are due back to the client. If we make a mistake on a job we have to return to property at our own cost. She has started charging us for the whole mistake and not paying us even if we return and fix the mistske. We clear out our job list ahead of time and let them know we are doing so weeks ahead of time and the night before we need off for a day she will drop 20 to 40 due the next day and she is the Only client that does all these things. I just think its best an attorney deal with her.

I think you are right. Your contract requires a personal review by a professional.
