IC's and invoice - 1mt


Posted: May 13, 2011

For those of you who are IC's, how long do you keep your invoices after you have been paid?

My invoices are sent via email, so it is an electronic record that I keep on my computer. Of course, I have been told exactly how my invoice has to look and be set up by the office I type for. I totally disagree, as their name is on the top, not mine. I have been told if my invoice does not look exactly the way the format that they gave me, I will not be paid and totally disagree, but need to be paid. I tried to tell them that if you go to a store and order something over the Internet, the invoice you get with it has the company name on top, not the business name. I can not walk into PetSmart and tell them I want my name at the top not theirs, othewise, I will not pay for the service or item I got! Am I wrong for this reasoning. I am an IC and feel like I get treated like an employee with none of the pay or benefits!

How To Type Up An INVOICE For The Clinic I Work For
Nov 23, 2010

I am a new transcriptionist working from home for a local clinic.  I am getting paid 13 cents per line based on a 65 character line (including spaces) and am typing this thru Microsoft Word Office 2007. It shows the line count and character count at the bottom of the page in a box I can open up.  Do I just take what the line count says it is and that is my line count for that document? Or do I need to divide the character count w/spaces by 65 for the line count?  Second question.. ...


The World's Longest Invoice - Freelancer's Union
Apr 27, 2012

Hmmmm:       Freelancers have long been the envy of cubicle-trapped office workers. From the flexible hours to escaping mundane office politics, there's a lot to love about operating solo. Yet, one major downfall that almost every freelancer experiences is unpaid invoices. The fact of the matter is that if a self-employed freelancer gets shortchanged, the cost of taking the issue to court is often greater than what the bill is worth. But now freelancers are joining ...
