Refer to my question, Will we get paid if there are non-working days during interpretation period?

I have been contacted for working from (1)24-25 November (2) 29-30 Nov. Is it possible if I ask for accommodation, meals and partial of interpretation rate?


Thx

depends on your client's budget Oct 25, 2017

Hello,

If I live in the same town as the interpretation then I only charge from Monday to Friday.

I have an assignment abroad for 1 month. There will be Saturdays and Sundays and the client is only paying for lodging and meals on weekends and my daily rate is based only on 20 business days in that month.
They have been my customers for many years so I am happy not to charge on the weekends.

Regards,

L.
