For post-RIF wrap-up, my company insisted on a project 
basis to begin with, and I wound up at the equivalent 
of something like my former overtime rate, I suppose.  
I got them to include a clause saying that further 
work in the future, should they call me back for 
more maintenance and updates, would be per hour and
at a bigger premium.  Not that such a clause has any teeth; 
you can't enforce a rate if no work was attached to it.  
And when they needed a little writing again, they 
went to an agency and got it done more cheaply.
