"will" in an "if" clause.
I've learned that "will" is not allowed in "if" clauses. But I found this.
If the company won’t pay me, the only recourse left to me is to sue them.

Please explain to me why "will" appears in the above "if" clause and what would change in meaning if the above sentence were "If the company doesn't pay me, the only recourse left to me is to sue them."
Thank you so much. Happy New Year!

Please explain the differences among the following sentences..
I'd like to say in advance that I'm very thankful to anyone who answers my question.
If I carry out the plan, everything will be fine.
vs
If I will carry out the plan, everything will be fine.
vs
If I am to carry out the plan, everything will be fine.
If any of the above sentences is grammatically incorrect, please correct it.
(By the way, what I learned from many English grammar books in Korea tells me that "will" usually does not appear in "if" clauses except some cases, which I can't recall. Please help me recall those.)
Thank you again.
