Be careful
I didn't get renewed once because I asked for extra money for covering late shifts whilst the 2 newbie contractors in the other team happily agreed to take time off in lieu.Comment

I'm not opposed to taking TOIL instead of cash, but the exchange rate needs to be better than 1:1
I don't work weekends for normal rates - whether that's paid in cash or in some other form.Comment

FWIF - If I work a weekend (only happened once in the past year) then it's the same daily rate as during the week.Comment

I've been offered 2 days of TOIL in exchange for the Sunday 12 hour shift, but seeing as I work from home at least 2 days a week anyway, I'm not really sure that's worth my while.
I'm trying to say no without sounding obstructive!Comment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostMy current project asked me if I would work weekends. I asked what rate they were paying and was told "normal rate", so I politely declined.
There is another thread somewhere discussing what people charge for weekends - some don't charge extra and some do.
My rule is that it's double time on a weekend as a minimum. Depends how desperate they are - might go up to triple time!
