Labor rates and Invoicing
My standard labor rate is $64/hour. I often do not charge for part of the time spent doing support or instruction, to keep your costs down. Travel time is not charged. For clients, email support and short telephone calls are free! (Calls over 1/2 hour will be billed at a reduced rate of $16 per half-hour.)
Invoices are mailed on the last day of each month, to all clients who have incurred charges during that month.
