Hi,

as a new contractor I was wondering if I should bill my client for the travelling time to KL. After all, I was travelling on their behalf and If I don't bill for the travelling time my salary is going to be significantly lighter this month.

I'm not greedy but If I'm expected to actually lose pay for the trip I will be mightily unhappy

Cheers

Yes you are a new contractor Basically you bill the client for travel time beyond a normally commuting distance/time i.e 1 - 2 hours. And be greedy. Do you think the company you're working for isn't?

Make up for it by enjoying boom boom with the cheap malaysian brasses.

Good question.

If you asked a Lawyer to fly from the UK to KL to represent you,would they bill you for the travel time, or do it for "free" and just bill you for the time spent there?
