Contracting Question!!!! Time to invoice from start of contract

[The Wikir Man]

Still havent sent the Opt Out agreement back yet either.

not much point now, then, is there?

I held back invoicing from about Sept to Dec 08 as the rate was in EUR and the pound was tanking.

Probably made a couple of grand by waiting. Obviously I'm not as well of as Dim or SAS in their dreams so every little helps.

FTFY

You're contracting again?!!

Have I missed the votes on how long you'll last, and how long before you punch someone?

Hello!! We've missed you.

Not really, but they keep asking bless.

Jeez. I dont even know what LTD I used for this one. I need to go and look it up!

Yes, weekly for sure. And I have rarely accepted longer than a week's turnround. 30 days are not acceptable. After all, once you're in contract the agency has little enough to do so they can at least pay in a timely manner!

Depends if you're working agency or direct though. B2B relationships don't really work on a "pay me right now" setup, even 30 days is relatively short for payment terms.

I once got up to almost six months.

Then it struck me the credit risk I was running was about 50 grand.

I think it annoyed the permies because they asked how I could go without being paid every month. It must have dawned on them that I had enough in the bank to not be living paycheck to paycheck.


try now to do it within a couple of days.
