Originally posted by rd409 View PostIt was 12 working days, and my contract said that time was from the submission of the invoice. The only problem is that they entertain the invoice only after they get a sign copy of timesheet from client. So if you had a weekly invoicing, but monthly time sheets from the client, you are not having a fair deal. .
No the issue was Lorien / VerticalIT just wanted to delay payments for as long as possible.
Contract said 'last friday of month, 30 working days' and they stuck to it. Live and learn.Last edited by bikeman; 12 January 2012, 10:37.Comment

Yeah, i remember some time back having a bad experience with a company called Glue. Thought it was a one off but then I found a few others had vented their dissatisfaction as well....

Originally posted by rd409 View PostI never said they are the best. But when most of the agencies are now opting for 4 weeks payment terms, I guess 3 weeks is acceptable. Ideally, I would always like the payment terms to be 7 days max, but then this is business, and you can't really have it your ways always. I just tried to put another view of Lorien (or any agency).
Positive rep goes to:
