Your service normally takes an hour to complete. This particular job takes just 20 minutes. Would you still charge full price?

Imagine that a client calls you for a job as a service provider or a skilled person. And you gave him your standard price because you expected the job to take one hour.

On getting there, the job was not as big as you thought. And you are able to complete in 20 minutes. Would you still charge the client full price?

 

[Trush Jodie]

As far as we had agreed for the full price, the client is going to pay the full price. I had to come from somewhere to do the job. That's something worth paying full payment for.

The price has been agreed, it does not matter the amount of time it takes, there is a fixed amount already.

 

[Kross]

If the job was indeed easier than I expected, I would give the client a 10% reduction from the agreed price.

 

[Augusta]

It's the same job for me whether it took me less or more time I would charge same especially if it has a standard price

 

[King Belieal]

I don't even care how much time it takes, they would have to pay. It is not the time they are paying for, it is the solution that my skill provides.

 

[Augusta]

Yes that's how it should be. The job is not tine based but job based I have completed the job so pay me the money

In such situations, l go for the full charging of the service fee that had been agreed upon no matter how long the service may take.

 

[Trush Jodie]

You agreed the price and you delivered the job. That's enough for a full payment as agreed. You can't renegotiate again because of time spent on the job.

 

[Augusta]

If it's a firm, fixed bid, you pay regardless of how long it takes. If they specified 'time and materials', then you could argue it down.

 

[Stardom22]

I think that depends on so many factors put in place to determine the fees being charged on services. Time, concentration among other factors contribute to the same.

 

[Augusta]

The person needs to still pay as stated. Since the payment is job based and not time based
