30 days terms - Calendar or Working Days?

[Bobbsy]

Thirty days is thirty days unless you add the modifier "working". Contracts are based on what's actually written down, not anything implied.

If it is just you working as a freelancer I fear you can put whatever terms you like. The only real power we have is the small claims court, which can take months to sort out. I have lost count of the times I havent been paid on time, it always turns up eventually, but it is something you just learn to live with. Or as has been mentioned, you can turn down work if they are constantly late, but do we ever turn down work ? :)
