That said I have worked for a local authority unit where due to the timing of projects, qualification periods and the dates the authority payroll had to be entered into the system, short contract staff ended up not being paid for nearly 2 months and I, off my own back, provided some diggers with 'subs' to see them through what otherwise would have been a very lean time. So it's not always rosy on the inside of the greenhouse looking out (where also by the way we try and avoid throwing stones!!)....
That's not quite the same issue as cash flow though is it, that's surely just poor organisation? Hardly a good advert for an authority run unit either, although potentially some admission that there is actually a greenhouse in the first place.
