    Ok, so all of you are getting paid on time more or less.

    Does this mean that your clients all pay promptly , or are the agents funding it to pay you on time when your client has not paid them on time?

      Don't know, don't care.

        No idea. And I couldn't care less, as long as I get paid.

          Payment was due today. But it's not hit the bank yet. They are chasing it up

            The only few I ended up knowing about the agency funded it.

            However they wouldn't fund it unless all the paper work was there by their deadlines.

            Now some direct clients......

              In the last 5 years apart from the odd day here and there I've never been paid late, before that I can't remember an Agent paying me notably late, in fact the only late payment issues I've had in 20+ years were from direct clients.

              I've no idea how promptly the clients pay the Agents, they've never volunteered the info and I've had no reason to ask as it's none of my business.

                I invoice monthly on the 1st and get paid usually about the 20th.

                  Contract A via agency, invoice last day of the month, money in bank 7 days later
                  Contract B direct, invoice whenever I want, normally month end, wire transfer to bank within 2 days
                  Contract C via agency, invoice last day of the month if I've done anything, money in bank 15 days later

                    It's a breeze with Parity. Paid 2 weeks in arrears. Timesheets are online and need to be authorised by the Wednesday for payment on Thursday. It's self billing so really all very easy and hassle free

                      Current client pays on the payment terms based on the date I put on my invoice.

                      So I can put August 1st, send it in on August 20th and they pay on September 1st (30 day terms).

                      Ain't that sweet?
