A good client story...
One of my clients has me on what is essentially a retainer. It is a flat bi-weekly salary for me to work from home as I see fit. If works exceeds our mutual expectation, I simply charge more hours. I have had to do this once in the last seven months.
I manage two sites for them. One being built from the ground up only visible to our small team. Another being replaced by a site I am developing for them. I was hired for both before Covid-19, which has severely impacted their focus, yet I still get my check.
The best part of this story, is even while we sit and all do significantly less, occasionally I do get a request for something either front end or a mock up for later development. This all fits perfectly within our agreement. However, I then see an addition of hours to my check that I did not request. This has now happened numerous times.
Essentially, lately I kind of feel like I get paid for simply being employed by them, then they pay me additionally to do actual work.
Thank you very much, I can't wait to actually do some real development for your companies once things (hopefully) open back up.
- forgot to add, paychecks are mailed. they show up sooner than i expect. i thought there was one next week, it showed up today w/ extra hours. hence the post.imbecile
