I suggest that you should work 'by the job'. Quote a price for 1 week or whatever time frame you estimate it will take (paid in advance). This gives you control of your time without having to track hours and arguing about how the time was spent. Then X amount per day/week for any time after that (paid in advance always). After that initial period, you could offer to work full time (if that is acceptable - who knows, maybe they have changed) with a 6 mo/1yr contract with minimum 90 day notice to cancel the contract. I believe everyone should always work with a written contract. It makes you think through some things in advance and really helps you when you leave.

You know how sh|tty they were to you as an employee, so do you think things will change if you try to help them? You're not looking to be reinstated, but more along the lines of bailing them out. A bailout-consulting-rate should be high, in the 300/hr range. If you suggest a prepaid retainer of 2400 for up to 8 hours of work, and they agree to it, and you do the work - thats 2400 you didn't have before. I'm sure you can swallow your pride for at least those 8 hours, right? If you do step back in to that site, you already know whats going on; so suggest you ignore 'how' they treated you prior, and suggest to *THEM* a contract engagement (AND NOT a TEMP Employee thing). Good luck, either way you go. regards [Bill] -- William Sanders / efGroup {rmv the DOT BOB to reply} VFP Webhosting?
