School invoices where the late payment calculation date falls within or 3 working days either side of gazetted school holiday periods | School staff are required to take leave during the school holiday periods and therefore would have no ability to process the payment of the invoices during these periods. |
Corporate card payments at point of sale | Payment is made by the merchant to the supplier listed on the invoice. |
Recipient-created tax invoices | The invoice date for these invoices is often determined by the agency at the time of payment. |
Payments to parents | These payments are generally made as a result of a refund. |
Payments for homestay arrangements | Payments made under specific arrangements. |
Payments through upload of bulk accounts | These payments are not captured in the late payment monitoring reports as they are classified with a separate indicator in Department of Education's financial system and are mixed with other uploaded payments such as grants. |
