LOL story of my agency’s life. I think right now we have 30 open spots on the creative team. We literally have 0 available resources to work on new/extended projects. Almost every AD or designer is severely overworked...... causing some of them to leave and therefore having to fill their spot. It’s a vicious cycle.

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?
