    Questions for freelancers:

    Do you charge overtime past 8 hours?(i.e., time and a half)
    or do you just charge straight time?

    I heard that technically that as a freelance contractor you don't get any overtime. Also for a holiday (i'm being asked to fill in on a holiday) woudl you charge more?

    I'm asking US residents as I know it's probably a little differnt in the UK and EU.
    THANKS in advance!

    I don't charge overtime but if i were to work on a holiday I would hope that the client/company would kick down a little somethin' somethin', like time and a half or double time.
