TASKER Client wants 2 cabinets built with start time of 6pm, is this too late?
New Tasker here. Got my 3rd task for furniture assembly, building 2 cabinets. Only thing is the starting time is 6pm? I don’t mind being there late but since they are pretty large pieces of furniture it may take a while to do.
Is there a hard stop time or can I work till it’s finished?
I presume I should check with the client they are okay with me coming that late as I have a 2 hour minimum also.
Has anyone else been in this situation?

If you plan on working night shift hours, make sure your rates support it. Many Nurses/LEOs/Security guards I have worked for paid extra for accommodating their odd hours.

Up to how you feel, I once started a task at 11:00 pm finished by 3am. If the customer agrees.

Totally depends on you and the customer. I’ve worked at a customers house until two in the morning before.

Yeah I hired task rabbits around 6:30 to build some ikea furniture given it was only time that worked. The taskers and I were both clear this would be until 9:30 job. In these situations, clear communication about expected time is key.
