Question If you have a 'minimum' - how often do you actually utilize it, how often not?
Hi all, I've become curious about how other virtual assistants might be utilizing a policy I myself have in place for programming/design requests that states we bill for an hour minimum on these types of requests.
For strictly admin-relative projects I don't have a minimum at all, but I do bill these in (rounded to the client's advantage) 15 minute increments.

I was just wondering - if you have a similar policy about a '1 hour minimum', what it is - and are there ever any instances when you *don't* implement it? If so, what criteria determines if you'll use it or not? Or - do you *always* implement your mimimums?

Thanks so much for your feedback on this!

[Note: I do not bill on retainer.]
