I always used to charge for meetings and travel one way. If I spent the whole day at a client (8 hours) then I didn't charge travel.

Is it an hoursly based job or a project based job?

Sorry if this is too off-topic. I dont think it is but never mind i'll post anyway ..... What do you other contractors/freelancers do in this scenario: You work off site for a client, working from your own office on a task, charging by the hour for the job. The client calls and says he wants you in his office for a meeting with some of the stakeholders in the job. The meeting will take 2.5 hours, on a day when you'd otherwise be working by the hour for this client or another ... Travel to the client's office is 90 minutes each way, a total of 3 hours travelling time when you count both trips there and back. You obviously charge the client for the 2.5 hours stakeholders meeting, but do you also charge for the 3 hours travel time? If so, at the full chargeout rate or a special travel time rate? I think if you are going to spend 8 hours at the client office, its' like travel to and from work and therefore not chargeable. but since this is a part of a day that would otherwise be chargeable if you werent going to the meeting, do you charge for the 3 horus taken out of the day travelling? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe 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.
