Working on Saturdays

[Soggy_weetabix]

Justa general question here.

Do you charge a normal rate for saturday / sunday work?

If people want a service on their boiler on a saturday I charge a 50% extra as its not an urgent call. 100% extra on a sunday.

The credit crunch cannot be hitting home here as Im fully booked tommorow and have a sundays morning work. Its the same every week.

I do urgent repairs on weekday rates always but obviously people have money to burn?

Time and a half Saturday morning, double time Saturday afternoon / all day Sunday if weekends is at the customers request. Normal time if it is for my convenience.

I'm working all weekend again

I make that six

 

[Softus]

Or is it nine?

 

[seco services]

or even 10 if i don't like ya. that rate is then just what i feel like charging.

 

[Softus]

I'm with you on that one; rate is proportional to difficulty of all factors - ease of getting access, promptness of client, cleanliness of surroundings when working, number & quality of cups of tea, etc..

And sometimes rates have to be 'socially engineered' downwards for people who are down on their luck.

Just like the Banks do then.........

I don't follow you there, trazor.
