I took on a new client in mid May, agreed a project and got a 'signed off' (via email) proposal for the work which included my terms of payment (monthly invoice for hours worked). Project is due to last 3 months.
At the end of month 1 I invoiced for 2.5 days work as that is all I had done at that point, I did this mainly as 'security' that I would be being paid something. Invoice stated payment to be received within 14 days.
Since then I have done 5 more days work on the project which will be invoiced alongside any further days at the end of June (as stated in proposal) but as I haven't yet been paid I am wondering what to do?
I am planning to send a friendly reminder email today but wondering if I should pause all work on the project until payment has been received. There is a deadline to hit (their deadline) however I have other work on so would not be twiddling my thumbs.
Until now all my other clients have paid on time (or at least told me it would be late) so I am not sure how to deal with this. The work I am doing is mostly unseen by the client as yet (although have attended various meetings etc) but they haven't 'got' anything from me as yet so if they don't pay they obviously won't be getting the work.
Any tips on how to handle this? Payment is currently 7 days late.
