Standard payment terms
Payments to contractors are the most significant supplier payment type by value. Vital operate a self-billing system for contractor payments and these are generally paid in 4 days of the self-bill invoice being raised. For other transactions we agree appropriate terms of payment with suppliers and on timely receipt of satisfactory invoices payments are made to terms. Our standard terms are 30 days.

Dispute resolution process
Disputes relating to incorrect hours or rates are dealt with at local branch level. Queries regarding deductions from pay are dealt with by the central payroll function at head office. Other supplier disputes are managed via our Purchasing and Purchase Ledger departments. On the rare occasions where resolution is not possible matters can be escalated to Director level.
