I generally charge the normal day rate, but then my type of work only requires occasional weekend working.
OT - On one programme, where I, the programme director, and a project manager worked through the weekend to deliver some unplanned documentation to the end end client, and hence saved our client's ability to exist as a trading entity, the programme director was challenged as to why he was billing for weekends 'because that's what's expected of senior managers'. Luckily my invoices didn't have to go through the same **** for approvals.
