You have alot to learn ... I could write a book on just this topic and the excuses people ahev used for non payment.
The cheques in the post ... the oldest excuse.
The accountant is away for a couple weeks.
A new one ... the accountant or person who authourises payments is off with covid.
Waiting for the bank to release the loan.
You didnt fit a screw on one cover in the roof ... so we are with holding payment.
I asked you for a quote ... I didnt tell you to go ahead with the job.
The husband gives the wife the cash to pay ... she blows the cash.
There are so many I could be here all day.
The bottom line ... you get honest people who pay and then you get the rest.
There are some people who will always pay 60- 80 % and never pay the balance.
Then you get the ones who pay cash and feel it automatically gives them the right to leave out the vat.
Payments are not the worse theing that can happen when working in the domestic enviroment ... thats another thread on its own.
Bored wives left at home ... something you need to be very careful of ... always make sure there is at least 2 people working in residential homes ... the more money the more you need to be careful ... there have been a few incidents.
Walking into the house to do work and wife is sitting talking on the phone with very little to cover the body ... nothing happed but you need to be very carefyul ... especially in this day and age ... with Jealous husbands and small cameras mounted everywhere which can record video and audio ... there are many factors which could result in non payment.
The wife was banging the gardener but didnt want her hubby to find out it was the gardener ... and it wasnt me ... but she went to a few extremes.
Like I said non payments are a minor concern when working in domestic envronments or under desk in offices etc ... let me go do some work.
Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.
