Yes - between 1.5 and 2 times normal daily rate, billed in four hour units, or parts thereof (i.e. 1 hour worked -> 4 hours worked; 3 hours worked -> 4 hours billed; 5 hours worked -> 8 hours billed).
I value my weekends too much to work them, so I very rarely do it. If I do, it needs to be really worth my while.Comment

If they want me to work at the weekend, they have to leave £1000 in unmarked, used, non-consecutive bank notes of mixed denomination in my desk drawer, otherwise the project "gets it"Comment

1.5 x Saturday, 2x on Sundays or Bank Holidays. The mere act of going into the office = 1 day.

Maybe it's a working with Oracle thing - I need a big incentive to work with it 7 days a week!Comment

Blimey, I am in a minority. Maybe it's because I have no social life, and therefore work is work, whether it's Monday or Saturday. My pot noodles and Wolverine comics pretty much fit around me.
