Any other information about payment terms
The company performs weekly payment runs and selects the invoices that are approved and due for payment before the following payment run. To determine the date that payments have been received when calculating the above payment statistics, we have added 2 working days to the date of the payment run to allow for clearing through the banking system. Approximately 99% of the overall invoices are paid on time, or are paid within 7 working days of their due date.
