Originally posted by stevieg83 View PostJust dropped a contract because of their payment & invoicing schedule.
First contract in 5 years where invoicing was monthly and like others said, paid 2 weeks after that but could pay for them to expedite it sooner.
Client was RBS so I'm surprised there was no wiggle room. Agent seemed stunned I was willing to walk away from it.
If us contractors stuck together and refused to accept stuff like this more often, it would be better for us.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Why did you reject monthly, a well run business should have no problem on these terms, if its the risk of the agency going under Lorien is a huge with a net worth of over £10m so very small chance of going underOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

A day with no billing and 200 quid train ticket each, not worth it.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Not sure how it can be considered a 'standard' when it's the first time in my contracting career that it's been monthly invoicing + 2 weeks paid after the fact.Comment

Turning down gigs and sitting on the bench when you are worried about cashflow is a bit risky isn't it? Where is your warchest if a couple of weeks is going to be a problem?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostWell more of a meeting with HR than an interview, I got the terms, rate (pretty crap) length etc agreed in email with agent and hiring guy, just testing the waters before this contract ends, been on one, two and three week extensions since March, can't last much longer...
