Change Your Contract’s Hourly Rate
You might want to change your rate on an active hourly contract for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the work is easier or harder than you expected, or you want to show appreciation to a loyal client by giving them a discount, or you’ve increased your skills and raised your rates since a longer-term contract started, as examples.
You can lower the rate on an active contract, but you can’t raise it. Only your client can raise the rate. However, you can contact the client to request an increase.
Note:
If you are an agency member, you can’t see or change contract rates and will need to contact an agency manager.
Lower your rate on an hourly contract
Important: If a contract has a scheduled rate increase, you will not be able to change the rate until that increase is in place.
