Standard payment terms
The Company negotiates and agrees payment terms with its suppliers as one element of its procurement process. As a result, payment terms vary by supplier. Authorised invoices will be paid ‘net monthly’, being payment to the supplier by the end of month following the month of invoice. Practically this can result in a payment period between 28 days and 61 days.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Any other information about payment terms
The e-invoicing solution to process supplier invoicing has supported greater reporting processes and it is pleasing to see the average number of days taken to make payments has improved since the last report.
Dispute resolution process
Complaints or concerns relating to disputes about payments should be directed in writing to the Accounts Payable team at The John Smith’s Stadium, Stadium Way, Huddersfield, HD1 6PG. We seek to resolve such queries as quickly as possible to everyone’s satisfaction prior to payment being made. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by our Accounts Payable team, it would escalate in the first instance to the relevant Head of Department to seek a resolution. Further escalation to the Group Finance Director is also available.
