What do you do when you haven't been paid on time? We are now very overdue on invoice payments. Rent and amex due in 3 days and it's not a fun feeling! This is a super common occurrence for me, and I wonder if this is normal? Or because we're a female team. I also wonder if we are being too generous with our wording and need to get more firm.
*side note I now know to do the 5% invoice thing because of this form. That's a whole other other topic.

Talk to a lawyer. If net-30 payment terms are what’s dictated in your contract, by not paying you in that time frame, they are in material breach of the contract. To remedy this situation, talk to a lawyer and have them follow up on your behalf.

Going forward, You have to adopt a bit of a zero-chill policy with your money. Read every word of your contract to know what the payment terms are, invoice on time, expect payment on time. Until a place has a record with you of paying on time, assume they won’t and follow up as invoices are coming due. Be annoying about it. Escalate to higher up people on your project and within finance until it’s taken care of. If you are living up to your end of the contract, they are legally required to do the same.

Also, how do we ensure this doesnt happen in the future?

This is pretty common, I’m usually paid 60-90 day after I submit my invoice.

Hm dont they tell you at the beginning its paid within 30 days of submitting? thats what i saw. or is 60-90 more common?

What’s a fair fee for a CD/copywriter to charge when working directly for a large financial services client?

It’s common. It can happen with both big and small agencies. It’s not because you are female or too nice; we’re just not the priority when it comes to on-time payment
