I’m freelancing w/ a day rate. The resource manager asked me to adjust my invoice as the day before thanksgiving was a 1/2 day. Is this right? I thought a day rate was the same if you work 5 or 20 hrs

If they didn’t tell you in advance before you took the job- should be a full day pay. When challenging, just be nice about it. Otherwise future jobs can be harder to get there

Nope. A day is a day.

I would say no. But I would bill for the proportion of the 8 hours you worked. And adds h you did over that weekend too

Hell no.

The company was officially closed for half the day. Still no?

The rule of thumb when they ask you to prorate a day is that "I couldnt have booked myself anywhere else." Its true in this case, and I imagine its also true that you worked more than 8 hours on other days and have some hours in the bank.

Yes its a holiday and yes the office is closed, but if your agreement with them has been for a day, you spent the day there. Theyre being extremely cheap, and youre in the right for sure, but youll have to be the judge of whether youre hurting your chances to be kept around for a lot longer by fighting for those 4 hours of pay.

You should talk to your CD/ECD (assuming you get along) and see if they want to quash it. Bring it up like its kind of funny, and they might step in on your behalf.

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!
