If it were me, I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. There are lots of people who aren't getting paid, period, for the work they are doing. If you like the job and the contract, I wouldn't rock the boat too much. But that's me. A percent or two isn't work the possible termination of contract because you are being an ass in the eyes of the contractor.
Might also want to post this question to cf-jobs-talk. There may be some employer-types over there that can give you their perspectives. I know that a lot of people stay away from this list because they don't want to read about Bush the Devil, big breasted women, and pig-face tacos.

My last invoice was paid almost 2 weeks late. The contract states that payment is made Net 30 days, but as it's written by the contracting company does not include any penalty for late payment of invoices. Considering that all of my creditors apply a late fee if I am late in paying what is owed, I feel it is only just and fair that I charge a late fee to the company I'm contracted with to write ColdFusion code. I'm thinking just a 1% or 1.5% fee on the outstanding balance if it is more than 7 days late. Does this seem reasonable? How should I go about writing this into the contract or getting the contracting company to write it in? Should I seek legal assistance in doing so? Thanks in advance for your input.
