X amount per week

To freelancers,

When you're working form home and a client is paying you X amount per week, what do you consider a week? 5 days M-F, 6 days, 7?

Thanks

Five in my universe, deadline schedule depending.

I don't typically work by the week, I work by the day. I am happy to work as many days as they want to pay me for. If I were being paid by the week it would be a special arrangement, and in that arrangement would be how many days and how much $. Depending on the $ would depend on the number of days.

working from home or not, a lot depends on "X"

a smaller X means weekends belong to me.

it's all up to you, really.

Yep...it's your decision. I personally do not charge by the "week"...too much can get crammed in there. I have an hourly / daily flat (8 hour day - overtime shifts to my hourly) / per project flat. It depends on the project.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

5 days a week, based on a 10 hour day. I might work 8, I might work 12. But if I go over 50 hours per week, I say that there will be overtime.
