You should outline it in a contract and also confirm it on your invoice. On my invoices I've got a billed date, a due date and a line saying please pay within XX days.
Smaller clients I say 14 days, usually they pay immediately. Larger companies I usually say 30 days, anything longer and it can become a hassle. Especially if they start forgetting emergency jobs they requested or amends and start questioning stuff done months ago.
It gives you a date when you can phone up and remind them. But also, if it is a bigger job you should split it down and invoice stages of the job, they're not going to withhold payment from the start of a job if you are still working on it.
