      That is too bad hottbpete.  I had a pad poured by a contractor too.  Everything turned out ok but I had to keep one eye on the project the whole time.  Shimming is not an option for you since you own one of the bigger tubs. The Caldera Geneva, Hot Springs Grandee, or HS Vista can't be shimmed either.  Looks like new pad time unless the contractor can figure something else out to your satisfaction.  Good Luck!

My understanding is that HS is the only shimmable spa. There are diagrams of shim points in the HS manual. If there are similar diagrams in the Caldera manuals then you are probably right.

HS Grandee is not suppose to be shimmed.

You are correct. That's due to the size of the tub.

Don't shim Caldera.

Also, as was stated, HS does not recommend shimming the Vista or Grandee. I have put shims under one or two corners for better support when the slab was uneven due to small low spots.

I would let the contractor fix the slab if it can happen. Sorry to hear about the delay and hassles.
