I put “due upon receipt” on the invoice, and I invoice weekly.
Sometimes it helps to just keep invoicing them, sometimes it helps to escalate to someone above the person you’ve been communicating with, sometimes nothing helps. If you want to charge a late fee you have to outline the terms in your contract before you start work, and they may not agree to it, but it can be effective, especially if it increases every day.
Add a late fee and a clause in your contract that invoices must be paid within X number of days upon receipt.
Send your invoice to the person in accounts payable who is directly responsible for payment if you havent already. Too many times there’s a middle person and invoices aren’t their main priority.
Send the invoice again with a reminder. If they still don’t gently remind them you’ll charge a small interest fee every day they don’t pay you. But I wouldn’t go there unless you want to burn a bridge
