Timesheet not approved now what

[northernladuk]

This sort of behaviour seems to be on the increase it seems. i.e. client no longer feels the need to keep the contractor happy since the gig is over and then tries to stitch them up on the last timesheet. I guess the temptation is there to shave a few quid off the end costs.

I had something similar. Once the main part of the job was over, client completely changed and tried a few things on like this. It seemed getting the job done was no longer important (since it was done) and saving money now became an important factor.

It's not just us, it happens at all levels to all suppliers. It's part of being in business unfortunately and to be fair happens often enough in the B2C world as well.

This.

If we speak to a contractor it is almost always the last invoice that has gone unpaid...

As NL states, start pursuing them in an organised fashion. Firstly, pick up the phone if you haven't already. If they are ignoring you it will be more difficult when you are calling every day. If you haven't included a claim for costs and interest this is also an option.

Out of interest is the agency in the UK or overseas?

How many contractors don't get paid in the middle of a gig and keep working with the same client??
