This really hit home for me, as I just woke up to an email today from a client, who owed me the equivalent of a month's salary, to tell me there have been complications with payment. Basically every bill I have to pay now gets managed in the debt shuffle, once again. I'm really over this, if employers could simply deny wages to FT employees there'd be hell to pay. Some clients deliberately use NET-90+ for freelancers as a way of managing debt, they pay off any debt with hefty finance charges first, and any vendor that doesn't have the teeth to collect or balls to charge and enforce 20% interest gets perpetually shuffled to the bottom of the pile. I hope in a future where freelance is considered a more socially acceptable method of employment we can establish some more protective legal frameworks for the self-employed. The system as it stands is completely flawed
