    Subcontracting and hourly rates question

    I wonder what would other people do in this situation:

    My company subcontracts to another company (COMPANY) for £1.50 an hour
    My company also does work for clients (CLIENTS) directly at £4.50 an hour
    My company uses services of a subcontractor also for £3.00 an hour

    When my company does work for CLIENTS directly, we bill the CLIENTS £4.50 an hour for the time that the subcontractor has worked and pay the subcontractor £3.00 an hour.

    Note. all costs are examples and not the real values

    What would other people do for charging CLIENTS directly for time that a subcontractor has spent on a project?

    Also - is it normal to be paid that much less to subcontract for a larger COMPANY who provide regular work? £1.50 an hour compared with £4.50 an hour.

    What sort of toilets are you cleaning?

    Actually what I would do in your position is to put a begging bowl outside the toilet. A lot of people will put in 10 or 20p.
    I'm alright Jack

      If I wasn't happy with the rate, I wouldn't have signed the contract. Probably not a lot you can do about it other than ask for more.
