An old client has an emergency and you save them, what would you charge?

For zero back. Bugger that.....TOIL in at least.

New client has asked me to work a few hours on bank hol monday. I said yeh no problem thinking I'd charge half day rate - they offered a "few days pay".

Did you not read his sentence above the one in bold? There has to be a reason he would do that. WIB isn't as one dimensional as you are.

This but I personally don't like those terms. Have a rate card with different rates for different times. Make Sundays more than Saturdays if you really hate working Sundays etc.
Using time and a half etc reminds me too much of my permie days (shudder)

Overtime as a permie. What were you, a bus driver?

No, he was an accountant.

If it's a total one off, and little chance of future work, then maximise the engagement (1.5 / double time extra). If there is a chance of further future work, then maximise your chance of that by setting rate than you (and the client) know is not a p1sstake. Only you will know your client and the best way to maximise your current and future revenue.

Good luck
