just to clarify I am being offered a daily rate.
It might seem a bit petty to some be haggleing over 30 mins but it all adds up and I dont want to be held to ranson to do a min of 8 hours a day which I think is what the current contract terms imply.
Think it's time to pay for a full contract review!Comment

If I was on a daily rate then I would expect (as a pro) to be able to decide how many hours I needed to work to get the job done. I if do the job quickly then I get to leave early - if I have problems then I stay later. Everyones happy.
Terms like those shown in the OP are out of order - I wouldn't sign up to a contract like that.Do what thou wiltComment

8hrs with or without breaks?
It gets worse as some clients include lunch in the hours and some don't. So for some clients that could mean 9-5 including 1hr lunch and others mean 9-6 not including 1hr lunch.Comment
