2.5 months was my worst agent I had between completed work and invoice being paid. Really should have sent alarm bells ringing, but did not know at the time."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

how long has it been since you raised the invoice?
I had agents miss payments, play tricks on me, but not on the first invoice. If they don't dispute the total on the invoice they have no grounds to delay payment. The client signed the timesheet, the invoice is correct, there is no reason to not OK it for payment.Last edited by squarepeg; 24 April 2017, 21:22.You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment
