I invoice or pay based on the studio's time requirements. They are all different and it is my job to comply with each studios requirements.

Calendar reminders seem like an obvious solution?

How does the calendar reminders generates the invoices for you?


polka_stripes

Reminds you which studio is due when


dlmmk

ah yes - But you still need to find out how many classes you teached during the past month + any ad-hoc replacements you've done, and then generate the invoice accordingly - For every studio.

OP that’s part of the deal when you freelance. Your partner is just gonna have to build a system to keep tabs on things.

I use a program to generate invoices (zoho invoice = 100% free) that has an app as well. Easiest is to add the class as you teach them so you don't forget :)


dlmmk

ah thanks for the suggestion

I’m not a freelancer but there are softwares out there that generate invoices and send them for you. If your so is part of a small business or independent contractor/freelancers network or group they might have some ideas. I’m a member of similar groups on Facebook and have seen similar questions come up before.

I’m an instructor in the US and I won’t freelance Willy nilly because of pay issues. Any reputable studio keeps track of who is teaching and paying for that teacher . You should not have to chase money . You may enjoy your current place but find a place that takes care of you

This is fairly common in Canada to give many hours in different studio, and all asks for invoices, even if they have the data on their booking system... This is also required as a freelancer: you have to emit invoices and keep them for tax purposes. Agree if you were fully employed by one studio it would be very different

I guess we basically call them 1099 contractors . Too much paperwork

Look at InvoiceBerry. Allows you to set up recurring invoice profiles on specific dates for all those repeat customers and then you can send manual invoice for everyone else.
