Cheque payment: completion is not a bank receipt
The customer pays by cheque after unloading. A completed job should not hide the wait for actual funds.
Editorial examples of typical work situations. Names, amounts and examples are illustrative, not verified company stories or customer testimonials.
What to do
- Choose cheque before the job.
- Keep agreed payment details in notes without unnecessary bank information.
- Complete work without treating it as cash received.
- Verify actual receipt separately and reconcile it with the job.
What changes and what to check
Completion, receiving a cheque and cleared funds are distinct. This is an operational workflow, not legal or bank verification.
