Standard payment terms
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. Foresight invoices are due for immediate payment and so will always be picked up as late on the report but are not actually late so manually adjusted for. Biffa invoices have due dates on the invoice of 30 days but per the contract with Biffa, they are due to be paid 3 business days after the UC income is received, this is checked manually.
