EPL operate a weekly payment run, which means that actual payment dates can fall outside the agreed payment terms of the invoice. If an extra 7 days is taken into account then the percentage of invoices paid late to agreed terms statistic falls to 16%.
Disputes with suppliers are dealt with on a case by case basis. EPL try to resolve these in a manner that suits all parties. The procedure is specified within each individual Contract. Although there is no timeframe for the resolution of the dispute all steps are taken to remedy queries as soon as possible.
For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.
