Done to death. Hit search.
No one works to hourly rate or day rate with clients.
Subbies should have a set day rate for x work period
ie £200 for a 0800 - 1630
This needs agreeing before taking on said subby. They also need in writing if they plan to charge for staying longer etc etc

Day rate can be handy when you get an unusual job to price or clients that want you doing various tasks over a few visits and you know they will change their minds continuously
Set out what machines are included in the price or what extra they will be. As long as it’s all set out there is little chance for ambiguity.
In terms of staff / subbies I’ve always paid day rate.
No one has given me an hourly rate except on large machinery
Finishing times are swings and roundabouts, sometimes a day is done at 3 sometimes it’s 5. Generally it balances out but if it’s a lot of late Finishes a bit of extra cash smoothed things
