Not paid for Mossman yet ...

.. the person responsible (apparently) was on leave .. now she is back from leave the assertion is that there are no signed timesheets to go with my invoices.

Interesting .. I stapled the time sheets to my invoices and personally observed the timesheets being signed off while at Mossman. I wonder how the invoices managed to get where they should have but the signed timesheets didn't.

Cheryl, while you are getting paid a regular wage to handle these things I am living off a line of credit because the system you work with fails miserably to respect the needs of the locum doctors. I know you are not necessarily personally responsible for this but you are now in the "firing line" ... I look forward to your speedy resolution of this matter.

This is not the first time QH in general and Cairns District in particular has been excessively slow in paying for work done.

I am curious to see if my Gladstone payment is made on the 15th of this month as it should be under the new "policy" arrangement where a third party handles the payments. I was informed that "receive the invoices by 10:00am Monday" is actually "if you want to be paid by the 15th of the month, all invoices/signed timesheets must be in before the end of the previous month".

/sigh

*edit

15th October - paid as expected by GN for my first "third party" payment for Gladstone, and the monies for Mossman appeared in my account same day. Was a good day to pay bills !
