I didn't know, but I was able to use the internet to find out.
I thought you were clever?

how is asking you lot
not using the internet to find out?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 12:05, Reply)

Well that is true, but it is not the most efficient use of the internet
I guess at your hourly rate (+ disbs) you don't really care about efficiency.

it took 1 minute to ask the question
then i sat back and did some work whilst i let the answers filter in.

then i came back on here to collect the results.

total time incurred: 2 mins. actual work done by me: zero. minimum unit that can be billed: 6 mins.

PROFIT AND EFFICIENCY RIGHT HERE.

I don't believe for one minute that you would bill for a unit as small as six minutes.
It would surely have to be rounded up to a minimum of 0.25 hours

Why not?

Because lawyers like to screw as much money out of you as possible.

....and thus can charge 10 clients per hour instead of 4

You misunderstand me
She may still only do six minutes work, but the minimum the client will get billed for will be 15 minutes.

nope, that is not how it works at all
you record your time in a minimum of 6 min slots. but you don't round them up to 3 x 6 min slots and bill for 18 mins.

you wait until there is enough time on the clock altogether and then you bill.

oh
would you prefer daily bills of 18 minutes?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 13:19, Reply)

I'd prefer not to billed by you at all.

Clients?
Are you calling our Swipey a prozzie? Damn you, damn you to hell, you bounder.

It's a feelgood film with Jack Nicholson
and Morgan 'granddaughter fucker' Freeman, it's mildly funny and touching if you're in the mood but nothing special.
