How much is too much to ask for with emergency service?
I had a thought yesterday when receiving a call from one of my old customers.
I am not fully freelance anymore. I now work a desk job and do the IT work on the side. However it did cross my mind that many companies out there don't adhere to AV/security policies and are always at risk. Because of this risk that means that it's only a matter of time before they reach out to me for aid. I believe that since it's an emergency and that they aren't just a small "mom-n-pop" establishment that the situation is highly critical, work stopping, and causing loss of resources/revenue that I should charge a premium if I'm the only option they have and I have to alter my schedule to assist them.
What I want to know is, how much is too much to ask for compensation?
Personally in that specific situation I would like to employ this:
$189.00 an hour, first half of the day paid in advance for each day.
I also am considering a very generous guarantee of work for 1 week. Since it's a virus you can't guarantee anything but I figure a week allows proof that I cleaned it properly and taught them safe practices as well.
One Script to rule them all.
One Script to find them.
One Script to bring them all,
and clean up after itself.
