Is it for a few weeks, or are we talking about months/years?
If it’s only a few weeks, I’d probably agree something with the client along the lines of “if I do 2-3 hours a week, I’ll bill you for half a day, 3-6 is a full day and weekends are double”, then tell the agent you may be working a few extra hours per week and that you’ll be billing either full or half days for them.
If it’s longer than that, I’d want a separate contract that was hourly, maybe specifying 20 hours per month as a base, but you’re getting into permie territory then.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Indeed. It'd probably be co-termed with the contract. Thinking of it as just a few extra hours is an easy way of dealing with it, but I'm minded to push for a retainer (as I'll have to make arrangements to be available regardless of whether I get called out or not!)Comment
