Cameron, I have this line on my invoices. "Please pay from this invoice. Net 15 days." After 30 days I send a reminder letter, a total of maybe ten or fifteen letters per year. But the local school district takes much longer than that to pay. Right now they owe me for work done October 12. I have never added interest charges, although I think one might be justified in doing so. Since it's not a big problem for me, I just put up with it.
