If the Client does not pay it after certain days (usually 30 days) the amount to be paid on the invoice increases by that percentage you have configured on the late fee, which will be applied to every invoice processed, rather than if you processed the invoice weekly, bi-weekly or every month. The late fee only applies once, when the period that you established has passed. Read the article below to learn how to configure it.    1. Go to the **"Clients"** tab, select the section **"Clients list"** and use the filter to look for the Client´s profile you want to edit. Once you open the general information of the Client´s profile, click the tab **"Contract Prices"**. ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/28345543715991.png) 2. Click the **"Edit"** button that is on the right-hand side of the screen. ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/28345543716887.png) 3. The system will scroll down the page and keep scrolling until you see the section **"Sub-Contractor Rate per hour"**, locate the name **"Late Fee"** and select the option **"Other"**. ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/28345543719831.png) 4.

You can also modify the time to apply the Late Fee in the section **"Net Payment Terms"**. Keep in mind that the average time is 30 days, if you need less or more days, you can edit it.  ![](https://www.staffwizard.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/28345543721879.png) 6.
