Ok, let’s throw more background into this. The guy is kinda a neighbor, we were acquaintances before I started this. He gets paid a little slower and I know they are continually hand to mouth on things. He gets paid generally 1-3 months out on his invoices. I have a good chunk from the month of September that I’m waiting on. I took harvest off so there is a gap for those months I understand. He wants extra workers but I’m positive anybody else would have quit now. I have slowed to a crawl in my work where what I used to to in 2 days I dabble for a week or so on.
I started this (I’m required to apprentice for about three years at my rate) to avoid cutting into a lot of cash for when the kids are at school. If I can earn 10k until my second kid hits college, amp it up to 20k for a year and the. Back down to 12-15k after that I would be very happy. Just hard to work when you get zero back.
I don't know whom you're working for, but I know of a company that is not able to pay an invoice for 65-75 days after the invoice is submitted. This is often delayed by the person not getting the invoice submitted on time or correctly. It's just their policy.
Could you ask him if he could ask the payor to be pay him sooner?
