I have just been asked to provide some 24*7 on-call support for the next couple of months (very unusual for me in my line of work but its down to the Indians not been "quite ready" )
My contract is a "consulting only" contract - i.e. "professional days" and no provision for any form of on-call type arrangements
Anyway - for those that do, or have provided such a service can I ask what sort of arrangements you have managed to blag ?
I am thinking of a "x% of normal weekly rate just for providing facility" plus "y% of current hourly rate for each hour actual time working on out of hours problems or part thereof"
Where x=125%
and
Y=125%
Does this sound the correct side of "taking the p155" (i.e. I want the client to know this is costing them for failing to have the injuns ready)
