A logging contractor in the top of the South Island: wages before the 20th

The story in short

• 29 invoices funded since February 2024, on 28 different days
• 27 of 32 months they’ve used FundTap since joining
• 7 increases to their funding limit
• 5 of 6 of the last 6 months with an invoice funded

The gap

Nothing is wrong with the work. It’s steady, and the people they log for pay on the 20th. The crew can’t wait that long.

The 20th doesn’t move to suit the pay run. That gap comes round every month, so they plan for it.

How they use FundTap

Since February 2024, they’ve funded 29 invoices on 28 different days. It’s one invoice at a time, picked to match the pay run.

Use has been steady: 12 invoices in 2024, 12 in 2025 and five so far in 2026. They’ve used FundTap in 27 of the 32 months since joining. Their customers pay them as normal.

What’s changed

Their funding limit has gone up seven times since they joined. In five of the last six months, they funded an invoice.

The 20th still decides when the money lands. It no longer decides when the crew gets paid.

In a public review, the owner said the team were friendly and efficient, and they’d use FundTap again.
