Phil,

I was being nice. More time than that went by (after I sent an invoice) with no info. Then, I was told they were “short of cash.” A couple of more e-mails were exchanged, and I was paid.

Most pubs don’t let your invoice languish with no explanation, waiting for you to prod them into action.

You’re right, though, 60 days is fairly normal. Most of my clients pay within 15-30 days, so I am lucky.

The position is filled.

Nancy,

Though 30 days should be considered standard, 60 isn’t that bad as long as you know it. Many pubs I write for don’t pay til something runs, which is typically 60-90 days out.

I wrote for Not For Tourists. They are nice to work with, but it took over 60 days and a few e-mails to get my paycheck.
