When to use this template
Use this template if you're a New York City-based freelancer billing clients. NYC's Freelance Isn't Free Act (FIFA) requires written contracts and protects freelancers from late or non-payment with statutory penalties. This template includes the contract reference, specific payment due date, and late fee language that strengthens your FIFA position.
FIFA compliance tips
FIFA applies to NYC-based freelancers and any work performed in NYC. Required: written agreement for any project over $800 (cumulative within 120 days). Recommended on every invoice: explicit due date (not 'Net 30' alone), late fee terms, and reference to the underlying written contract. If a NYC client doesn't pay within 30 days of the agreed due date, you have a statutory claim under FIFA — and clean invoicing documentation is what makes that claim enforceable.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What is the Freelance Isn't Free Act?
FIFA (NYC, effective 2017) requires written contracts for freelance work over $800, requires payment by the contract due date or within 30 days, and provides statutory penalties (double damages plus attorney fees) for non-paying clients. It's the strongest freelancer protection law in the US. NYC freelancers should always use written agreements and clear invoices — both are critical for enforcement.
Does FIFA apply if I'm in NYC but the client is elsewhere?
FIFA generally applies if the freelance work is performed in NYC, regardless of where the client is located. If you're a NYC-based freelancer, FIFA protects you on most engagements. If the client is in NYC but you're elsewhere, the answer is more case-specific — consult a NY-licensed attorney for your specific situation.
