The penalties apply to invoices for goods or services when payments are not made by the required payment date or within a 15 day grace period thereafter.    Act 1984-196 redefined a "qualified small business concern" as any independently owned and operated, for-profit business concern employing 100 or fewer employees. See 4 Pa.Code § 2.32. The business must include the following statement on every invoice submitted to the Commonwealth: "(name of business) is a qualified small business concern as defined in 4 Pa. Code 2.32."    A business is eligible for payments when the required payment is the latest of:       The payment date specified in the contract.       30 days after the later of the receipt of a proper invoice or receipt of goods or services.       The net payment date stated on the business' invoice.    A 15-day grace period after the required payment date is provided to the Commonwealth by the Act.    For more information: contact: Small Business Resource Center                                                   PA Department of Community and Economic Development                                                   374 Forum Building                                                   Harrisburg, PA 17120                                                   800-280-3801 or (717) 783-5700
