I'm basically an employee, but my boss is self-employed. It's a law firm, not really a company... she has no staff. Basically it's me (part time), and another guy temp part time.
I would be on payroll, but she's having difficulties with her bookkeepers (they're not doing anything she's been asking them to do) so she'd rather pay me as an independent contractor direct out of her own pocket rather than trying to get her bookkeepers to run me through payroll and cut a check.
In fact, after I take the bar exam if I come back to her full time, I WILL be on payroll (I'll insist on it) with a salary rather than an hourly rate. However, as a student and as I'm only working part time, I'm doing hourly billing for now.
Tracking tasks is of utmost importance (she's already discussed this with me) as billing to clients is how she makes money. It's how *any* attorney makes money. So I do need a breakdown of my hours spent on each client. I'm thinking of attaching it as a schedule as that part's rather irrelevant to how much I'm owed.
I've found some templates on microsoft's officeupdate web site, so I'm going to play around with those and see whether I can make them work for me (the billing statement seems the most appropriate for the invoice, but it is geared towards sales rather than services so I'll have to tweak it)...
But basically, what I've gathered from what I've read in the comments so far is that I'm thinking along the right track -- that I should submit an invoice rather than wait for her to figure out how she wants me to report my time to her? |
