Or all references to billing for the day are irrelevant, since the OP bills in 15 minute chunks.

Of course. Whilst some us bill for a day or not a day. One of the two

Then the OP's questions is moot

Unless contract says otherwise a "day" can be 1 minute or 24 hours.

Yep. Common sense doesn't apply sometimes.

Indeed. One ClientCo I took a half day. I billed so 4 hours. I still got a full days money! I pulled that trick a few times after that....

Did someone just say JSA?

FTFY

All above board here matey!

[psychocandy]

So you are admitting to committing fraud?

Next year, if you're in contract you can point out to all the permies how they are working for free on February 29th while you're getting paid for it.

They appreciate that, I'm told.

When I was a Permie I enjoyed reminding the contractors how I was being paid for that extra Royal wedding bank holiday or whatever nonsense it was.

Despite being WFH my contract says I can't bill for 24th Dec - 3rd Jan.

In the past, I've billed for the day even if client tells everyone to go early.

I've found the permies generally do sod all work but the contractors still have stuff to do. Last time I think I worked about 5 hours and stuck a day down.

Rationale being OK Im a little short that day but over the past few months generally client has done ok out of it.

If they moan about a few hours on xmas eve then I will think carefully when they've next got something urgent on (usually due to their piss poor planning) that has to be done today meaning I'm stuck late.

In practice, though, I find most clients dont give a monkeys if you stick a day down for xmas eve.

It's a Monday too this time which should make it even more exquisite as an instrument of abuse.
