If work asks me to do something when I'm officially on annual leave, If I want to do it I will ask for 90% of the money being paid for that part of the project. If they REALLY want me to do then they can pay for it and still make money from other parts - I call this a privilege fee. They get the privilege of getting the project over the line, and the client/job gets access to me as the lead creative.
I think the same term can be applied to clients who want work done in unreasonable time frames. You can either pay shitloads for the privilege of it being done before 8am on a Monday when you call on Friday at 5, or you can get in line like everyone else. So many people seem to forget that when they are at home stressing about their projects, we are at home trying not to think about the very same project.
