Make it easier to identify PSI in your business records

If you’re receiving PSI, look for ways to improve your invoices and records so it’s easier to identify PSI.

This will save you time and effort when it comes to PSI record keeping and reporting.

It can be as simple as recording your labour as a separate item on your invoices and contracts.
