That has been a BIG benefit. There is literally always money coming in, and since its weekly the bites you take out of the client are smaller, which seems to decrease the pain factor for them somewhat. Plus, if they get behind in a couple of payments it provides an easy 'resting place' for that job, where work resumes when the late invoices are taken care of. Keeps you from getting in too deep without payment, and as importantly the client can easily understand why work is not progressing, and knows what they need to do to pick it back up again. My long-term clients get some slack. But I usually won't cross 3 weeks. Regular weekly billings can be problematic with large organizations who always seem to have accounting departments staffed by chimps. Still, I place the burden of feeding the chimps bananas on the department who has hired me, and they do, in general, deal with it internally, which is as it should be. If I were to go monthly that would mean I'd be working up to two months for free before I had to cut someone off. Past my pain threshold. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
