Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

It is company policy to agree appropriate terms of payment with each individual supplier. The majority of suppliers are paid on 30 day terms or fewer. No early settlement discounts are generally entered into. We have specific terms in place for direct limited company contractors - who are paid on the next payment run 1 week in arrears of receipts of an approved timesheet and invoice. Payment runs are carried out once a week. We work inline with the "GI Group" Code of Ethics which is published on our company website. As noted in the Fairness paragraph, we are "opposed to any practices that induce Suppliers to enter a contract that is unfavourable to them".

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

Dispute Resolution Process

Supplier disputes are rare, but if a supplier does have an issue we instruct them to contact our accounts payable team on gigrouppl@gigroup.com who will seek to resolve any queries as quickly as possible. If a dispute cannot be resolved by our accounts payable team, the issue will be escalated to a senior member of our finance team, and ultimately our Finance Director.
