Hourly rate

I attended a business development lunchtime gathering for small business owners. The guest speaker briefly referred to white van man, electricians, plumbers and the like. As self-employed individuals who desire to be earning around 35-38K he claimed they should be charging £43.60 per hour. Built into this would be the the emoluments taken for granted in many employed situations where holiday pay, sick pay and pension contributions are standard.

    But presumably those prices for the services of a queens councillor includes the support staff in the office, unlike the insolvency practitioners who are charging at least ninety quid an hour for the office staff opening the post and typing letters etc. as separate itemised charges.3




    Said Queen's Counsellor will have to pay his or hers share of the chamber's costs, but that's just like your white van sparks (or plumber) paying for the cost of said van.
