The eight-week bar is running and we're not tracking it
Compensation events keep happening and nothing counts the days against each one.
What's happening?
On an NEC job the events keep coming, late access here, a changed drawing there, and everyone on the team vaguely knows there is an eight-week rule. What nobody is doing is counting it, per event, from the day the team became aware. The plan is to notify when the event gets priced, and pricing always waits for a quieter week.
NEC clause 61.3 is not a filing deadline, it is a bar. For events the contractor must notify, notifying outside the window can cost the entitlement to the change in price and time itself, not merely delay it. That turns record-keeping into money in a way few clauses do: the same event, with the same cost, is worth its value inside the window and can be worth nothing outside it.
The discipline is a tracker, not a memory: every event listed the day it lands, the date awareness started, the days remaining against each one, reviewed weekly. Five minutes with a list is what the bar respects. Anything less is trusting the busiest people on the job to count backwards from a date nobody wrote down.
The solution
Every event's clock in one view, counted weekly.
If you would rather it were done for you, NEC Compensation Event Review is the service that does it.
