An Independent Contractor Invoice is a document that a contractor can use to present the charges for the services or goods provided, either to an individual or an organization. A Contractor Invoice will in detail, separately outline all the goods and services provided, along with the fees for each individual job or product. It also provides information regarding quantity and payment conditions.
Payment conditions refer to the agreed method of charging, which is either a fixed rate or an hourly rate, along with any other relevant conditions that were previously discussed and agreed upon. This often includes deadline dates and accepted methods of payment. Ensuring that a contractor has a Contractor Invoice template available with all of the correct, relevant information will save them a considerable amount of time. Often, contractors are self-employed and therefore their invoices are not automated and need to be produced by the contractor themselves. As a contractor, you wouldn't want to waste a lot of your time forming these invoices to ensure you get paid. The faster you can produce an invoice, the quicker you will get paid and can freely move on to the next job.
