We hired this contract employee that refuses to do any work.
He says we've not given him the data he needs.
The really annoying thing is that he insists on charging us for 'waisted' time.
After the meeting I was going to confront him but he was out the door in a flash.
I tried to follow him but while I was crossing the street he ducked into an alley or a pub.
I think the fellow is an alcoholic trying to rip us off.
Any suggestions?

Twice.

I'll admit that is rather unconventional advice.
We've never tried that before - it's worth a shot (1).
NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------
1: Shot as in 'attempt', not a shot as in '1 oz. of whiskey'.

Shot could also refer to Vodka, Gin and Run. I'd try all options.

I'm not sure if the correction is accurate or not - It is my best guess based on your recent uncharacteristic spelling errors.

Shot could also refer to a gunshot

Should I do that before or after I pay the invoice twice?

After. Send cheque then you can go.

Pay him and Let him go (Pay and Terminate the contract).
I understand he didn't do any work till now, But then that was the problem from your side also, you didn't monitor his work. Your company and His manager should have known this in first few days. And if it's only few days since he is in, then this chance every company takes while hiring a contract / permanent employee.
Shoot him! NOW!!! above the waist...

Don't worry, have a beer. I'll stick it on expenses and the Meh can pay.

Perhaps you should check into his past. You might have grounds for terminating the contract if you find he travels to Eastern Europe a lot or has a habit of posting messages on the Internet while intoxicated.

Your company seems to have a hand to hire crappy employees recently.
Yes, I read Nagy's Thread below

What does the contract states? Does he really have all the data/information he needs ?
I'd rather be phishing!

No, the idiot who's supposed to give the information spends all day posting online

Was he hired at-will?

Can that be proven?

That doesn't matter, unless your company is actually paying for this time. If that is the case, your options are very limited.

This should have already been done. Why not have the confrontation IN the meeting?

If you fire his company, you can hire me.
Not only will I graciously do the same job but I'll go through the trouble of not even showing up - for the same fees.
This offer is limited to as long as I can get away with it - so hurry!
