Varies depending on the gig I am on. As long as the agent is reputable and looks financially OK i'm not really bothered what it is.

Congratulations

Invoice weekly - I want the money out of the agency and into my company as soon as possible.

1. Gains more interest that way.
2. Limits potential losses from agency/client going t!ts up to maximum of a week.

I remember when Plexian went bust. Nobody got paid.

One bloke hadn't bothered to raise an invoice for 3 months.

He thought the world had ended. His wife probably arranged it so that it did end.

Anyone who has seen an agency go down invoices frequently.

Terms: 28 days then charge interest - non-negotiable (it's effectively the law anyway).

I tend to invoice weekly even when the contract says monthly, then ignore the complaints. Normally I get away with it; they just give up and conform.

DO NOT SIT ON UNSENT TIMESHEETS. SEND THE INVOICE.

(Alternatively, if you are so keen for your ltd co to give interest free loans, can I have £25k to tide me over until I get my next contract, please? And if you wont do i for me, why would you do it for an agency?)

HAYS IT - invoice weekly and payment terms within 7 days.

Hays IT Switzerland. Invoice monthly, payment with 45 days. But if you offer a discount, they'll pay quicker...

[Sockpuppet]

Just a quick one, how often do people here invoice and what (generally) are your payment terms?

(am prepared for the anti-newbie onslaught)

Every 5 minutes. Payment terms of half an hour.

Threaded.
