My fee agreement is a separate signed agreement. That agreement has their days, hours and schedules as well as their rates. For me it's easier to have all clients sign a contract once (4 pages) and then just sign my fee schedule whenever there are rate increases, changes in their schedule, move up or down from PT to FT etc. The fee agreement is only one page so less for me to have to re-print and save on file whenever there is a change. The separate signed fee agreement works as it's own contract in conjunction to my regular contract and handbook. It's just a different way of doing it but because everyone's signatures are on there it works legally.
