Say he charges $50 an hour and starts a job at 9:55 am and finishes at 11:10 am. The customer figures it bill will be $62.50 ($50 for the full hour and $12.50 for the extra quarter hour). However, the bill is $150 for a full 3 hours.
When the customer inquires, the contractor says he bills by the hour, not fractions so he had charge for a full hour even if he doesn't work the full hour, so it an hour for 9:55 to 10am and another hour from 11 to 11:10 am.
Is this sharp practice or a legitimate business procedure?
