FAQ
Establishing a Payment Schedule Create a timeline for when payments should be made. Specify details such as the payment type, payment amount, and due date. Communicate the payment schedule to both parties. Establish a plan for the consequences of late payments. Keep a record of the payment schedule for reference.
A payment schedule (or draw schedule) will specify each specific construction milestone with the expected completed work and the exact amount for each draw. It should also include your payment terms, so you and your customer are on the same page about when payments need to be made.
Definition and Examples of a Draw Schedule For example, suppose you're building a home and the lender and contractor agree to a seven-payment draw schedule. Over the course of the building process, the bank would make seven separate payments to the builder, often based on the builder meeting certain milestones.
The schedule should include dates of payment, payment amounts and recipient information. A payment schedule example for student finance includes columns for: academic year of study, instalment (first, second, etc.), date, product, payee, amount, method of payment (e.g. direct debit) and status.
Oftentimes, the procedure for payment within the construction agreement indicates that the contractor will invoice the owner on the last day of each month for work completed to date, and then the owner has a certain number of days, typically 10 to 20 days, to make payment to the contractor.
The Purpose of a Pay Schedule A pay schedule outlines when and how much clients are expected to pay for your services or products. By setting clear expectations upfront, you can help ensure that clients understand their responsibilities and make payments on time.
