Getting paid as a subby

[swinny]

Evening all.

 

Just wondering what sort of T's and c's people have in place when you go in as a subby climber, and how do you trust? or take peoples word for it?

 

I've worked for quite a few firms and all have been excellent bar one who has stung me for nearly £500 quid! And has no intension of paying

 

So what does everyone do?

 

Cheers

Small Claims Court. Don't waste your time mucking around.

Take them to small claims court...or at least send a letter stating that you will.

 

Terms - I always state - payment within 28days upon completion of work as agreed to the proposed price uopn receipt of invoice.

 

Late payments will receive 0.8% interest charge per day after 28 days and collection agency fees will be added to total price...or something like that.

 

I Had similar probs i the past.

When I've had a subby/freelancer to do a job, I've always just paid them outright for the day at the end of each day, usually cash. At the end of the day, I couldn't have done the job without them and I wouldn't have earned the money without them, so I want to see them right so they're happy to work for me in future. Makes them happy, makes me happy, makes customer happy.

 

And you, as a freelancer, shouldn't feel bad/shy about making it clear before the job that you want paying at end of each day.

Go round and kick his head in...

 

 

I'm lucky that with my subby experiences I have never been stung, or had to wait more than about a week for payment. For me you either go legal or just ask nicely with a big mate.

Go and see him, pick him up by his feet, shake until the money you are owed drops from his pockets. that has always worked for me.

He's probably got no proper money in his pockets. Just a load of conifer, a few petrol and MaccieD receipts, and a few pennies.
