Re: Doc always seems to be on vacation on previously proposed paydays

Wonder how they would feel if the check was late and you decided to hold work? Just amazing that companies are like that especially when you know they have the money.

Amen. My main client used to be wonderful. I turned my invoice in on the 1st, my check was cut within two days and sent out. Then they decided I had to turn them in by the 23rd to get paid by the first. Well, check started getting later and later, sometimes after the tenth. I would email and complain and now they say that their other "vendors" have net 45 days. I said, well, that's fine and dandy but I'm not other "vendors". Now the promise is I turn in on the 23rd and it is cut sometime between the 6th and the 10th, best deal I could get. I still have to get on them sometimes about remembering me and there's always an excuse. The sad thing is that my client is a multibillion dollar audiovisual production company and I happen to know that they are always late paying bills such as their Earthlink internet account. Truly poor accounting going on. But, oh boy, like right now, they sure do want their files back on time if not before time. They send them to me, then a day later say, oh yeah, those are rush, we need them yesterday. And these aren't 5-10 recordings. These are 149 minute conferences on pediatric epilepsy, clinical trial training, everything under the sun....oh woe is me LOL I'm just feeling sorry for myself since the main subs I use all decided to go on vacation at the same time and I'm working 18-hour days to stay caught up. {sigh}

My big client does not sign his own checks, and I get 'em like
clockwork.  I let go a client a couple of years ago because she was a
doc signing her own checks, would never stiff me on an invoice, but I
always had to send the invoice, wait X number of days, call/email to
inquire if the dang thing had been paid, and I just got sick of it, so
I gave her 30 days' notice.  She was also dictating all over creation
on a cell phone, and I just got tired of listening to the static, so
those two problems combined made me happy to give her up.  What I tell
them is, they don't have to ask where the transcription is (it's
delivered every day!), so I shouldn't have to ask where my pay is.
