How 10-Day Payments is working for support workers on Mable
We reached out to support workers on Mable to ask them how 10-Day Payments is helping them run their business better.
Shorter wait times for payments
Support workers like Catherine are happy that they don’t have to wait as long to receive payment, adding that 10 days is a ‘reasonable’ time frame. She says, “7-14 days is a respectable time frame in which to be paid. It’s great to have dates of when I’ll be paid, especially having long-term, regular clients, who have difficulty in remembering to pay the invoices.”
Better cash flow
With regular payments comes better cash flow, so that support workers are better able to plan their finances. As Shelley says, “For me, the cash flow improved immediately and I am now able to forecast with accuracy. It is terrific, the expected dates of payment really help me plan out cash flow and expense payments. Ten days is a very reasonable turnaround from service to payment. Mable offers a number of benefits to workers, but at the end of the day, cash is king!”
Catherine agrees, saying the “better control over cash flow and being paid is reassuring”.
