Payment tracker
Most payment disputes are lost on dates: a missed pay less notice, or a late payment nobody chased. The tracker works out every date for you.
Set up a job
- Open the payment tracker from your listing page.
- Add the job and its payment terms from your subcontract: when you apply, how many days to the due date and the final date, and the retention percentage and release points.
- Log each application as you send it.
What it does for you
- Works out the due date, payment notice, pay less notice, final date for payment and when you could suspend, allowing for bank holidays.
- Flags a missed payment notice, which can make your application the sum due.
- Warns you when a payment is late and works out statutory interest.
- Tracks retention held on every job and tells you when each half is due back.
- Emails you a daily summary when something needs doing.
Letters in one click
Download a Word letter filled in from the job: payment application, notice of sum due, notice of intention to suspend, late payment interest claim and retention release request.
Tip: Not a member? The payment dates calculator is free and works out the dates for a single application.
