Reply to: Any Redress Here - Didn't Bill For a Day I worked

Generally if it's an administrative error and you left on good terms with some personal connections, it should be pretty easy. You just notify them of the error, issue updated paperwork and apologise for the inconvenience.

If they seem like they want to make life difficult, decide how much you care.

Was this through an agency?

Yes it was through an agency and I was in Wales oddly enough lok

Unless the client is a railway station, the train ticket just shows what station you were going to.
Having a train ticket to Cardiff Central could mean you were going to the Principality Stadium for a rugby match or to earn some money at the Travelodge Cardiff Central. Both places need replacement hookers.

You sure you can stand the competition? Pip is sometimes quite convincing. You in a dress is a scary thought.

Send an amended timesheet politely requesting signature with evidence. Keep it friendly.

....and tell them you were so busy that you didn't have time to do any laundry, and had to wear the same pair of socks two days in a row, causing you to overlook a day on your invoice....

For the sake of one day, I would just take it as a learning point and move on. If it was more significant than that then I'd follow up with the client.

My bad basically - I left my timesheets too late and had to do 4 at once. Consequently I put that I worked 4 days one week when in fact I worked 5 and this was signed off. I subsequently invoiced for 4 days and have since left the client.

I assume it's a lost cause?

Lost cause? No. Surely you have learnt never to do this again?

Yes, yes you are.

[NotAllThere]

Since your outfit makes this look good

Yes, you should redress. What were you thinking?

Put yourself in the position of the sock factory, one of whose peddlers of socks claims, six months hence, that they were actually onsite peddling socks on an occasion that both parties had previously agreed they were not. Said peddler of socks shows a lunchtime receipt from the Burger King next door as evidence that they were indeed peddling socks in the viscinity at around that time. In short, yes, you are a lost cause.

On one contract I released I missed a weeks invoicing and I'd left the client about 10 months previously , I was on good terms with hiring manager and dropped him an email saying I'd noticed I have missed a weeks invoicing and he said no problem send in invoice/timesheet and he'd approve it. All went through fine.

I guess its just how good a relationship you had with the client/hiring manager is/was. Also it might it might also depend on if client has gone through a year end/budgeting etc have all been signed off/agree as to whether that might cause them any headaches.

you can only ask and see what they say

[WTFH]

Hmmm... the train tickets to the client site I guess?
