This doesn't sound out of line at all. In fact, it's exactly how we do
it. Not because we don't want to "pay you to learn how to do the job"
(BTW, I don't think it's reasonable to expect them to be willing to pay
a contractor to learn to do this, because after 3 months they may never
see her again and there goes their investment), but because we don't
want an open-ended potential cost. Anyway, some people work faster than
others, and it wouldn't be fair to penalize them (or expect them to lie
in order to get paid what they're worth).
