On my first contract job I was paid a daily rate. An occasional 9th or 10th hour a day didn't bother me and I wouldn't say anything about it, but the days got longer and more regularly so I started to fill in my time sheet for 1.5 days. The finance guy reminded me that I was on a daily rate and would be paid per calendar day of work, and it wasn't possible to get more than 1x the rate. So I started to claim a days work every time I got a call on the weekend. Someone calls me on the weekend and I say "hit reset" or "send me an email and i'll fix it on monday"? I worked. I'm claiming my daily rate. Those days were begrudgingly paid and I suspect it all evened out in the end.
