How time is charged

  • Time is measured portal to portal, from when we leave our office until we are back, and rounded up to the next half hour.

  • Only the time actually spent outside business hours is charged at the higher rate. A visit from 5 am to 7 am is one hour at the night rate and one at the business-hours rate.

  • Where two rates apply, the higher one is used. They are never added together.

  • Times are US Eastern.
