PAY: Daily Rate

[iamchristuffin]

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a job that runs for 4 weeks and 4 days. We've discussed the weekly rate, but I'm not sure what to divide it by to find out the daily rate, and how much I'll earn from the 4 days -5, 6 or 7?

What do you think?

Thanks,

C

Not sure why you need a daily rate if you are dealing with a weekly pay scale, unless you need to declare it for unemployment, in which case just divide it by the number of days worked.

I think working 4 days or more in a week, constitutes a full week, and should be paid as such. But, good luck with that!

what Ruth said - what I meant to say - cuz 4 days in a week doesn't include the prepro work and meetings and prep you must do before those 4 days, so a full week is fair.

If they really need you to quote for 4 days, divide the weekly rate by 6 (or 5 is you usually take 2 days off), then add back 20-25% because you won't be able to find work for those missing days, and quote that.
