Re:Ask HN: How do you handle clients who don't pay on time? by adim86 on Saturday April 04, 2026 @11:16AM (#47639749)
What my company does is the following:

1. We schedule payment up front before we do work (retainer), but we do not force payment due to emergency or cash flow issues of companies.

2. After 2 weeks we start charging compounding interest on the payment.

3. If 2 months go by and we have not been paid, we stop all services, and the outstanding invoices continue to accrue interest till paid
