I treat meeting as work. If you are a permanent employee, you get paid for the time you are in meeting...

Or do you absorb meeting time into your fees? You should definitely charge for your time. How you charge for it can vary. You can track it per hour and charge per hour, or if it's a flat fee project you can roll it up into the overall cost. Like anything in a flat fee project though, the scope must be very narrowly defined or it an run away from you. This includes meetings. If you roll it into a flat fee project, I would describe the meetings in whatever scope or work or statement of work document you produce. Describe how many are included, how long you expect them to be, and what location they should be (your office or theirs). Basically, treat it just like you would a software requirement in the scope of a software project and react to meeting requests accordingly. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341912 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
