I'm having issues with invoice payments from my client.
The contract I signed had start date 11/6/2007 end date 13/08/2008
however it also stated that the duration was 53 weeks. Clearly this is ambiguous and in retrospect I should have refused to sign it (I was a cash strapped newby)
The payment terms of the contract are 30 days, but most of the time they have paid after exactly 3 weeks.
Their internal system is that they pay the invoice if it matches the hours on their time booking system (which I fill in every week) however my access to this system was automatically disabled some time before 20th June.
Having said that their internal cockup is of no interest to me, I've worked the time, and as far as I'm concerned my contract end date is 13/08/08
I've been told they are going to offer me a renewal, and that payments won't be resumed until this has gone through an apparently lengthy internal approval process, which I've been told will take at least until the end of next week.
As I've failed to get anything in the way of a straight answer from the client(big beuracratic company) I have asked my brolly to chase them for the payments the first of which will be due on the 21st.
I'm just wondering where I would stand if I stopped attending the client's site on the basis that they have stopped paying me within the agreed terms.
