Hi there
not often on this section of MN, but hoping for some thoughts/opinions/advice if poss please.
I'm freelance and have a number of clients, one of whom is my bread and butter payer.
however, another client has just offered me a contract involving me getting a retainer for a guaranteed 60 days a year.
On the face of it, it seems a pretty good deal. I like working for them, and the money's pretty good.
My main concern is that I want to make sure that they'll be flexible about my availability. They'll have to understand that i cant just drop everything at a moment's notice if they decide they want me.
Can anyone think of anything else i should be looking out for/checking/wary of?
Any little details I should be looking at ironing out?
I've got a copy of the contract and its pretty high fallutin legalese in places, but they're a blue chip company so maybe that's to be expected. I don't think their terms and conditions seem to have changed from previous work with them.
And i'm delighted they want me for 60 days a year rather than 15/20 for the previous couple of years.
Seems a bit too good to be true, so if any of you have experience in this kind of thing, let me know.
Many thanks
