Invoice & Rebates Charter:

1. We respect the National Health Services Trust’s (NHS) “No PO, NO Pay” policy. (PO = Purchase Orders)

 

2. To fully adhere to the policy mentioned in 1 above, we require Purchase orders to be raised at the point a clinician accepts the job (Job acceptance). This is effectively the point the Trust confirms the services have been rendered with an offer letter.

 

3. If the PO is not provided per 2 above, this does not hinder our finance department from sending an invoice on completion of the Occupational Health (OH) check by the candidate. This is the point our relocation services effectively finish as it is up to the Trust to agree a start date with the candidate.

In the unlikely event a candidate withdraws from a job offer and a Purchase Order has been raised by the Trust. We will inform the Trust of this withdrawal and the need to cancel the purchase order.

 

4. We respect and adhere to the 30-day invoice payment period per the framework terms agreed with the Trust. This means all invoices must be paid within 30 days of the invoice date.

 

5. Any queries in relation to an invoice must be raised with 14 days of the invoice date.

 

6.We will always work with the Trust to ensure all queries are resolved before the invoice due date (Invoice date + 30 days) to ensure on-time payment.

We reserve the right to charge statutory interest on invoices not paid within 30 days. The statutory interest rate is 8% plus the prevailing Bank of England base rate on the date the interest is charged and continue daily until all debts are cleared.

 

7. We will not usually raise interest charges until all avenues of communication are exhausted. If the debt remains unpaid 45 days after the invoice date, all debt on the Trust’s account will be escalated to the Trust’s Chief Finance Officer / Finance Director, with interest and debt collection charges as appropriate.

 

8. If the debt remains unpaid after 60 days, a further escalation to the Trust’s CEO will be effected with updated Interest and debt collection charges.

 

9. In the unlikely event a debt remains unpaid after 75 days, the debt will be handed over to our legal team and debt collectors. This is will come with court and debt collection officer’s fees, which will further increase the Trust’s debt.

 

10. Any rebates raised will be done so via a credit note with the credit offset against future invoices. Any credit notes not utilised by the Trust after 9 months of being raised will be written-off and it will be at Remedium’s full discretion whether to reinstate such credit if requested by the Trust.
