[AccessD] OT Contract Rates

Try to figure out what it would cost them do have someone else do it, and
then charge a little less.  When you do, talk with them explicitly about why
your rate is better, otherwise they may assume that your rate is high and
they'll look elsewhere anyway.

However, ask yourself what's it worth to you to give up your free time!

Good Luck!

Subject: [AccessD] OT Contract Rates

To all,

Probably not the best place to put this so I do appologise, but am in a
situation in which I have never been or thought about before.  I leave my
current company after almost 11 years this Friday 3rd August, and start with
a new company on the 6th August.  The old company have asked me (no further
details as yet) if I would be interested in working for them on a contract
basis out of hours from my new company (no conflicting interests of
business).  What I would like to know is what sort of rates etc I should be
requesting for support and help for SQL, SSRS, Access, as these will be
systems I have worked on for the last ten years.  The thing is they could
have a situation where they are stuck with an issue, I could log on and
resolve it in minutes, or may take an hour or more, I can work out my own
time, electric etc,  but I am stuck with regards to asking what sort of
charges for my help.

Thank you for any advice in advance.
