Standard payment terms
Invoices are generally paid on the last day of the month the invoice is received. This equates to a standard payment period of 30 days. Biffa invoices have due dates on the invoice of 30 days but per the contract with Biffa they are due to be paid 3 business days after the UC income is received, this is checked manually. The invoices not paid in terms all relate to the Aon insurance invoices which had a payment term of 7 days. We had to receive the insurance income before we could pay these invoices.
