Probably learnt a lesson about reading the contract fully before signing... Final invoice for last gig was sent on 26/04 and it was my 7th month in a public sector gig. There was an enforced rate change for going over 6 months which the agency have had to swallow.
All invoices prior to this were paid promptly within 30 days, this one I'm being told will have to wait until end client have paid agency, they have told me 48 days for end client and to expect it after then - no specific date. have asked for a specific date which has been met with silence. Reading back through my last extension contract found this rather horrendous looking clause:
Am I stuffed if they decide not to pay? All timesheets have been approved...

Reading back through my last extension contract found this rather horrendous looking clause:
[Agency] will process payment of the Fees on a monthly basis upon receipt of a valid invoice, which is supported by time sheets or project reports completed by the Supplier/Contractor and signed by the Client. Should the client fall into arrears of sixty days or more then [Agency] shall, at its discretion, make payment once payment has been received by the client. On completion of the assignment period the last payment shall be made once the payment has been received from the Client.
