atw: Re: Public liability and professional indemnity insurance

Don't forget that they'll request you to maintain the policy usually for an additional five years beyond termination of the contract. 


Quoting John Brooke <J.Brooke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:


Thanks for the input. I've never had to deal with this before, by this
one is a major energy company and I have to work on remote sites as part
of the job. I guess that if the premium is around $3.5 to $4K, that
would work out between $1.75 - $1.90 an hour (give or take). I didn't
factor this into my rate which is average for our profession in
Melbourne, but I will in future.

Most companies (in Melbourne in any case) agree that they are
responsible for signing off on procedures anyway, the tech writer is
just there to produce the stuff. But the pool of non-IT work in Vic is
quite small, so maybe it's best not to argue as I'm not happy with IT
work.

I'd better sign off and give some brokers a call...

Thanks

John
