charging for contract work

[Laura Dumin <laura_dumin -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hi all,

I have recently started doing a bit of travel for a contract-type job and I am trying to figure out what are billable hours.  I have been working from home with the client for a while, but only recently have had to travel at all.

For instance, if I have to drive 60 minutes one-way to the location, do I bill for that?  Also, if I am on-site, but there is some downtime, up to 20 minutes at a time, do I bill for the whole time that I am there or only the time that I am working?  I want to be sure that I am neither over- or under-billing.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
