day rate
Per-diem contractor charge
A day rate is a fixed fee charged for one day's work, common in freelance and contract industries like film production, consulting, and construction.
Unlike hourly wages or salaries, it covers the full workday regardless of exact hours: Her day rate as a cinematographer is $800.
Day rates simplify billing and set clear expectations for short-term engagements.
