Hi OurHappyHome: Actually the situation the OP describes has nothing to do with an employer/employee relationship.

The OP is describing a contract agreement and an alleged breach thereof.
While I understand their may be a need to sign a contract for painting a house or building an addition, I am quite surprised that anyone would sign a written agreement with any one doing routine maintenance. Unless of course the service provider is referring to a verbal agreement which in this case appears not to hold water.

As to employer/employee relationships most states rule that an employer can terminate anyone for no reason. However many states would rule that if you did advance a reason it subjected it to being challenged as wrongful termination
