Contractor Rates

[SueEllen]

Do you only work 7 and a half hours a day?

My contract hours vary from client to client.

This means they vary from 7.5 hour to 8 hour days. Though I know of some companies who do 7 hour days.

I'm doing a steady 9-4 and play footy at lunch twice a week...
Rate is whatever the market can stand, there are many variables to consider e.g. outsourcing possibility, seniority, government legislation needing complying with, supply of people, niche, location, industry etc, etc... It's just too simplified to say perm rate formula. Hence support jobs are worth NMW + a quid and any role with consultant in adds a hefty %.
