I’ve done something similar before (asking for “your company legal counsel’s contact info”), to which I also indicated that any further time of mine taken up by this matter (resolving their fuck ups) would be charged to the company at a rate of $75/hr with a 5 hr minimum, calculated by the minute.

Do you need to be a contractor with an hourly rate to get away with charging companies for time wasted of yours?

Not in my jurisdiction - but it should be a simple matter of registering a numbered company / sole proprietor / LLC if that’s actually legally required (I never needed to even take it that far).

I guess the other thing to consider is potentially claiming it as income if you do end up charging them.

The fun part is insinuating you’ll also send it to collections if they don’t pay.
