Are you freelancing for a company which closes on Tuesday for the election? Are you invoicing that day? It s my first freelance and I am contracted as a consultant with a day rate. Not planning to invoice that day but want to check what is the consensus here in case I am mistaken...

On Monday ask the person you report into if they would like you to work on the Tuesday. Make it clear you’ve already voted so they don’t feel that they’re holding you back.

If they say yes, then you can invoice them. Get them to respond to an email if possible so it’s in writing. It’s like working a weekend or holiday. That’s what freelance is for.

Thanks that’s helpful

I would consider this an “office closed” day and not expect to invoice or work, but it would be good to get something in writing or confirm expectations

Got it. Yeah, like you say, it literally pays to check with them first!
