Standard payment terms

Standard terms for the facilities management sub-contractors are 20 business days and generally 30 days for other contracts. To determine the number of days taken to make payment, a period of 3 days has been added to the invoice date to account for the delivery of the documents. Invoices are generally paid on the last day of the month the invoice is received. This equates to a standard payment period of 30 days.
