We don't hire contractors, we are contractors. And we are hourly. Not interested in getting $3/hr because the shit is much harder than you/we thought.

If you are paid hourly, what happens when you stop progress? I bet the money stops. Being paid hourly means you're going to be closely monitored.

Sure, but we aren't talking about them not working, we're talking about things getting done on time "or else."
I've also watched contractors who are paid a $$$ bonus for every day they are ahead of schedule. It's amazing how fast they work. I remember one group that received $10,000 each for delivering on time. This was back in the 80s, when that was real money. There was no way that project was going to be late.
May I suggest your outfit hire better contract lawyers.
Do you recall after that earthquake in LA the city hired a construction company to rebuild a freeway interchange that collapsed? They offered ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY to complete it ahead of schedule.
The contractor broke all records and got it done months ahead of schedule. Everybody was happy.
Isn't it amazing how that works?
