    do not accept it based on 'salaried hours' (whatever the fark that means- lol) but instead, suggest a day rate where they use you basically as a full-time person/staff for determined days or period of days. this would likely be ~ 80% of your daily amount if it were pure hourly.
    ex:
    hourly rate: $100/hr
    time: 8 hours
    hourly day rate: $800.00
    Day Rate: $640.00

    That way, you are still ahead of the curve on billable, and they get the 'benefit' of not having to pay you your full hourly rate, yet get to benefit from you as a working full-time resource.

    This practice (day rate) is pretty common in bigger cities in several industries. Might be applicable here and everyone is happy.
