Question for those contracting on hourly rates .... do you bill your clients for lunchtime if you are working on their premises?
This arises from a conversation I had with a colleague the other day. I noted down the time we left the office to go buy a sandwich across the road, and he asked what i did that for. I said well I'm not going to bill him for going to buy lunch. My colleague said that he always billed for that time. His logic was .. if he wasnt hired by this client, he wouldn't be at that office. Most likely he'd be working at home having fresh vegetable soup and toast and a bit of this and a bit of that. And more than likely a bit of the other as well. So he was only getting a meazly sandwich for lunch because the client wanted him working on the client's premises. Ergo, the client should pay for his time. If he was working on his own premises, he reasoned, he'd be clocking on and off the job on his own schedule. What do the rest of you make of this? what do you to? Am I dudding myself by only billing the client for hours spent actually working on his project? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
