There is good reason we cannot charge double. We are self employed as Jouk said he works for a company.Which charge more all year round,to afford to pay double at Christmas.We need to deside if we have a job or a business.
Dont tell our staff they should be asking us for more at these times.

I often do bank holidays but not xmas or easter.
I did spend a chunk of boxing day on a couple of commercial jobs a few years ago.
I even did some other commercial work on new years day a couple of years back.
Only charged usual rate of course.  :)

If a job can only be done very early (4 or 5 am) or the job has to be done and completed on a bank holiday or Sunday, then I calculate it into the price. Not double time really, just making it worth working on days like that.
I try to avoid all that stuff now and concentrate on domestic stuff. So I spend Sundays doing anything but working.

I thought Jo was full time WC too. Wonder if he works with Ewan. He's a security guard too, I'm sure he's at Sainsbury's.

if they called and asked for them to be done at that time I would charge more defo and be upfront as to why. If they want it done they will.
