Do contractors negotiate salary the same as an employee? I just had one contractor let go because they were there longer than 10 years. I didn’t know there was some sort of policy around time there. Wondering if the time is negotiable along with the pay.

You cannot negotiate salary, because you don’t have one. If you are paid on an hourly basis, you can negotiate the hourly rate. If it is a fixed amount for a fixed time, you can negotiate that as well

In short, you can negotiate terms of your contract.

Thanks

The contract is always negotiable, but contractors aren’t paid a salary, they are paid per the terms of the contract.

That makes sense. Ty

You can always negotiate pay, at each contract renewal time. I asked during my last renewal for an increase and got a 5% raise. I’ll take it! lol

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year.

Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

3. Typically, with how many folks could I be splitting the fund? Read somewhere that you get 2% of the fund and you draw salary, office and travel expenses, legal fees and other operational cost out of this 2%

Contd.
