                                        As soon as they submit their invoices.

                                        We have a we have a payment stellar record of it it's anywhere between 7 to 10 days.

                                        The issue for us, as you've heard me say over is if you if you submit your invoices, with the exception of this problems or corrections needed in that invoice.

                                        A complete invoice can be reimbursed in between 7 to 10 days.

                                        Yeah.

                                        I mean, just to be fair, a lot of the feedback that we hear about reimbursement is that it is stellar in in your agency.

                                        So thank you for that, at least for paying people on time.

                                        Jose has a mantra that when before I hired him that he said they did the work they need to be paid on time.

                                        And that's one of the things he believes into.
