I've been reading the postings with interest on this subject and I'm thinking of putting a maximum period for my invoices to be paid, regardless of whether or not the client pays the EB.

How straight forward is it to enforce this time limit if you're opted out or opted in.

I did a gig once where it took 6 weeks for the EB to pay my first invoice as they were waiting for the client to pay. Eventually it all got sorted out, but I did at times wonder if I was being taken for a ride.

What best advice can people give from their own experience?

Thanks

It's in the contract. If that states payment terms and they are not met, you can then chase for late payments. If it doesn't, but your invoice does and those are not met (and assuming they are reasonable, like 30 days), you can chase for late payment. If neither states a term and no other terms have been set anywhere else, then you can only ask nicely.
