            Or so my gossip network tells me - I've been told nothing.
            Have they approved your timesheets and will you be getting paid before the end of the year?

              Timesheet for September is approved and is now 11 days overdue. Last week, it hadn't been finally approved by finance and they were hoping to run a BACS run either yesterday (guess it didn't happen) or Friday). Invoice for late payment penalty and interest is ready to go.

              October timesheet is approved by everyone and is due soon.

              November timesheet is approved by the business but I don't know about finance.

                I would prefer to walk away from a contract that offered 60 day terms. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

                    Ouch - at least once you get the initial 2 months out of the way, if your next gig has better terms it will seem like double bubble.

                      I think I am going to pop downstairs to the gym and sit in the sauna for a while. Then have a quick jacuzzi.
