For those that bill hourly, do you go off of a monthly retainer and sort of use that as a budget for hours? If I am starting to outsource (not off shore, just with partners, specific tasks), I'm just struggling about how to approach that from a billing perspective. I would like to make a small margin.

For active projects/customers, I bill 1 hour minimum per week. I also bill a minimum of 15 minutes a day if I do any work at all. This is fair since there is some "context switch" cost for me, even when I just answer an email or take a short call.
