[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely wrong, PP.  Bill up to the nearest 1/4 and  include transition time in the billing. Spending 10 minutes to tell you about your child's day is part of my job, not a pleasantry, and it will be charged for accordingly.  [/quote]

You don't bill for that time, if you are too stuck up to chat with your employers then tell them that and draw that line in the sane early. Be an adult and say "I need to leave at 6:00pm exactly, we can't chat unless you want to relieve me earlier." Make it clear your intentions and let them decide if they want to pay for that time to chat, don't just hang around and exchange pleasantries and then send them an invoice. That's a sure way to breed ill-will.

Same thing with rounding up. Just because you stayed until 6:02 doesn't mean they owe you an extra 15 minutes of pay. Again, if you wanted to be out of there by 6:00 then ACT LIKE AN ADULT and tell them you have to go. The only exception is if they are physically late and you can't just leave the child unattended, then of course bill for that time.[/quote]
