I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

you shouldnt just be doing it bc you can or the company will continue to take advantage of you, its one flyer now but then youll have a whole new work load. i wouldnt bother asking for extra pay, they obviously don’t really value the work and dont think its worth compensation but id be hesitant of accepting extra projects

the only scenario i see this as being okay is if YOU are trying to transition into a career in design/brand marketing and are looking to get that experience

Great point! I actually enjoy doing projects on design/brand marketing… but I wasn’t planning on transitioning into that career. It’s a small company so there are opportunities to shift. That’s the issue, I like doing it so I don’t mind, but I know it’s not typical admin work.

like

Dude, I'd rather not. Because if they are willing to pay you for that misplaced project, then they should have hired someone specifically for that role. They assigned you those projects so that hey don't have to pay for another person to do the job. That's their other way of saving costs.

like

Right!! I’m definitely showing them another set of skills which is gaining attention in other departments. It’s a small company which is why we sometimes will wear different hats. But if there is a need for more, like a whole list of projects, why not pay me as a consultant? I don’t even know if that’s even a thing lol. Contractor and consultant for the same company?

like

Totally possible! You could also ask to re-negotiate your current contract to include whatever extra projects they’re asking you to do
