Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Creditors are paid weekly with payment runs paying invoices approved and due up to the payment date. This results in suppliers being paid for invoices both before and after the 30-60 days terms. Hayes & Jarvis (Travel) Limited standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of invoice (not date of invoice) on normal qualifying contracts unless specifically agreed or net monthly. We have several suppliers who offer differing payment terms and we do our best to accommodate these for UK and non UK suppliers. Creditors send invoices by email throughout the month. The business handles invoices through OCR and workflow technology with a high proportion of invoices being matched to purchase orders or being approved by managers using online approval workflow and authorisation matrices.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute Resolution Process

The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner and as close to contractual terms as we possibly can. We do our utmost to resolve queries quickly and to everyone’s satisfaction. It is important to us that there is no negative impact on our customers experience and our supplier relationships are essential in delivering the first class services our customers expect. A close working relationship and good payment performance is paramount in our business. Suppliers generally email their invoices to dedicated email addresses where they are scanned by our OCR system for processing and matching to purchase orders. The Accounts Payable Executives and Team Leader work closely with our suppliers and departments to understand why an invoice is not approved or not yet paid. Every effort is made to ensure the invoice is included in the next payment run. If a cost of sale invoice exceeds the expected cost based on contract rates, a deduction advice is raised and sent to the supplier by email before the invoice is paid. If the supplier disagrees with the calculation this will generally be investigated and resolved before the invoice is paid.
