The other kind, treat it as a business, and charge you accordingly. Give you a proper ' service ' liase with your clients, suppliers etc if neccesary, and sort problems for themselves, leaving you more time to sell systems, and keep them in work. They dont expect you to keep them employed all of the time. Know what theyre doing, or at least find out, because thats what theyre charging you for. If you pay peanuts, expect to get ...........well, people who eat peanuts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first type you mention are effectively employed and I thought the revenue put a stop to it. Paying peanuts applies to employees & subbies alike.

amateurandy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm sure I've said something similar to this before, but here goes anyway: If you're working on contract rates (paid by the hour or day) then a good rule of thumb is: What salary would you expect to be employed to do this (with holidays, sick pay, pension etc.)? Divide that by 1000 to get your hourly rate. So if it's a 30 grand salary job, charge at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
