Help! Company not paying me for days worked for them!

[PazzoRilancio]

Ha yeh, well - thank you everyone for the advice! I worry that many freelancers would have rolled over and accepted 4 days!!!!

Wonder how often the BBC do this kind of thing.

Might be an interest story in there somewhere - BBC happily spends £100ks in golden handshake pay-outs to failed executives but tries to shaft a worker out of 6 days pay...

Good news everyone!

After providing a detailed timeframe to the BBC, they finally came back and agreed they had messed us around, and told us to amend the invoice for 10 days! We've accepted that and it's over.

Unbelievable it took this long! - Thanks to everyone for their advice and glad I didn't have to accept 4 days!!!!

Nice one - well done!

[PazzoRilancio]

Cheers!

Really happy it's all resolved. Great start to freelance life ha!

[Antman]

great news, start another thread and tell us what you're going to spend your money on!

Glad it's resolved.

But it may not have helped invoicing them for 20 days in the first place.

[PazzoRilancio]

Ha the money will be spent on alcohol to get over the experience!

Greg, they sent the PO for 20 days 5 days after they terminated the contract, along with specific instruction saying I must invoice for the EXACT amount on the PO or it wouldn't be processed. I can't really see how sending that invoice caused the problem!

At least someone at the client end actually had some sense Glad it got resolved and as others have said hopefully Mr Make-it-up-as-I-go-along has had a serious talking to!
