Costs seated flush
Admin that sits proud
Unpaid messages stand above the surface of the job. Log them for two weeks and recess them into the rate.
Admin does not appear on the invoice, but it stands above the week.
What to log
- Writing quotes and follow-ups.
- Scheduling, delivery and payment chasing.
- Revisions that were not in the brief.
After two weeks, add those hours when you calculate the real rate. Then either price them in or drop the jobs that leave them proud.
