Do you tend to charge more for working over the weekend ?

[Crossroads]

Depends.

If I'm not likely to be working any weekends then I'm happy to do the odd one at my normal rate.

If it is likely to be a regular occurrence then I would look to charge 50% or 100% more.

If it was part of a shift rota (and therefore with time off during the week) I would look to increase my rate for all days, probably by 20% or so.

Realistically in my line of work I don't do much weekend working unless the BAU guys start breaking things.

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.

Exactly what he said...pretty much word for word. Are you me The Faqqer?

Yes, and I claim my £5 from myself.

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

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

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"

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.

[Cowboy Bob]

No, because I don't work at weekends. End of story.
