Oh Bugger! I have just realised that the contract I have just started pays on a monthly basis (fine with that) and 28 days after the reciept of the invoice - not fine with that. OK I realise it was my fault, but what would you lot do, besides abuse Chico.
The problems I have are this
1 - The last contract was cr@p pay and reduced the amount in the company bank account.
2 - This job is a lot better paid, but away from home and so more expensive to do. Even after the expenses it is still way better paid than the last role.
3 - Family holiday meant that the company funds had dwindled still further due to having 2 weeks off.
Usually I aim to keep a nice amount in the company, but that got used by taking the last role which was badly paid. Hence I am somewhat strapped for cash and not going to see anything from this role until the end of October. Even then it is only going to be for 3 weeks worth of work, 7 weeks into the contract.
How common is it to find an agency who sit on an invoice for 28 days before paying these days? I've not had one for about 7 years.
