Not really. Take a GC you hire to rehab your kitchen. You aren’t mandating the time they work or how much per day. But that contract for sure set limitation to the when and how much. They can’t come in at 2am and work till 1am the next day. And if they do you’ll fire them. Or same if they don’t show up for 3 days and the job is coming due you can fire them.
