If the work is to be done off the employer's premises, the rates should acknowledge the additional costs of space, heating, lighting, telephone, and other overheads. It may also be appropriate for work with extremely tight deadlines to have an additional premium applied to acknowledge the costs of this in terms of the individual's resources and time.
