In addition to working retail, I'm a freelance photographer. It's great fun, do a wide range of events,pick and choose what I want to do, and when.
Only problem is getting paid.
One client is a nightclub I work at every week, or more precisely, the company that owns it and a dozen or so others.
You think they'd be professional and pay on time right? Nope.
According to my agreement with them, I'm on a 7 day account. So I turn in my photos and invoice a day or two after the gig, and get paid within 7 days.
Last payment was on the 17th of June for an invoice dated the 26th of May. Someone can't count.
So last week, on the first day of the new financial year here in Aus, I sent them an email asking when I'd get paid for the outstanding invoices (of which there are 5, with a total of $600 owing to me).
Fast forward to today, eight days later, no response. No one attending the phones in their accounts department today either it seems.
I'm getting just a little fed up here.
Just sent a further email saying unless I get a response by the end of the day Friday I'll be withholding services, I might go and shoot at the venue, but I won't publish/submit any photos until I get paid.
