    Part of doing business is sticking to the contract. maybe overreacting a tad but will give benefit of doubt. Never been paid late in 17 years contacting through an agent or direct.

      Count yourself lucky (which you have been) and welcome to the real world. Plenty of the worlds smallest violins around if you need one playing

          CUK is not the real world. It's a weird little ecosystem of Billy liars, Walter mittys and raging egos.

            Well that's nice isn't it. I didn't mean CUK world. I meant the real one where payments are, on occasion, late.

              I agree. Just witnessed all those in one user.

                Remain calm and ask the agency to advise (as you have done). It's a one-off so don't get on your high horse, even if you feel tempted/justified. Be cool and business like.

                One contract I had, the client was signing time sheets 10 days late or more. I got on my high horse and later wished I hadn't. If I had been cool (despite feeling outraged), the agency would have sorted it.

                  Really - never?

                  Must admit when it happens time and time again it is annoying that you have to waste time chasing....
