I don't have any overtime clauses in my contract and due to the current state of the project I am working on will require some evenings and weekend work. With my contract up for re-newal I am going to ask for an overtime clause to be added, along lines of 1.5 x weekevening and 2 x weekend.
What sort of argument, if any, would the agent put up to not include this, or would they see this as standard ? Or are the hours worked the hours expected to work being a contractor ?

Last client generously offered to pay 1.0 x normal rate for overtime.
One before that offered the opportunity to work weekends in exchange for a day off in the week, subject to their approval, must be taken before the end of the month or you lose it. Call my a cynic, but wouldn't it be really easy to deny approval and not give you the day off? (And yes, they tried it!)

If I have to stay late I will just leave early another day. Means less ******* about with tulip.

Written into my contract - time and half Saturdays, double time for Sundays and public holidays. I think in 4 years, I've done two Saturdays at 1.5. I did do one Saturday for normal rates, but it was my choice to work that day - the client didn't ask me to.
