Invoice Page?

[ZZGAMAZZ]

KB: I receive my orders by e-mail with the client fee and my fee on the order. I'm not concerned that I'm not getting my rightful share but I felt that the client might not be as accountable without the invoice. But after reading these responses and speaking to the Chief Appraiser I'm cool with it. However, one thing I don't understand is the scenario when the fee is invoiced to the client and my company never gets paid. The MB inevitable gets paid but I don't. If the invoice says "invoice to client $xxxx shouldn't the appraisal fee get sent to my company rather than vanish?

Not exactly sure what you are asking. As an independent contractor, your agreement is with the entity requesting that you provide a service. That entity is responsible to you for payment of your fee, unless you signed an IC contract otherwise. Which, if you did, is a valuable learning experience! Kind of like my first assignment from an attorney for similar reasons.

If your IC contract states that you will receive a percentage of the appraisal fee, the entity for which you are providing a service is responsible for payment of that service, regardless of any difficulty they are having collecting their fee. I would not work long for ANY entity which did not meet their financial obligations.
