contractor here 🙂
8 hours a day is what my contract says... i tend to be in before everyone and don't take a lunch break, so I leave earlier than them (I asked if they were OK with this when I joined, and they were)
Used to get a few raised eyebrows when I walk out at 5, but I asked for a one to one with my boss and I pointed out that I was willing to muck in and help when the fit hits the shan, but I'm not going to volunteer a load of extra hours every day just to fit in with the people who are trying to look like they deserve a promotion.
I really can't put a value on cycling home and being in the warm shower by 5.30 🙂 Summertime is amazing, it is like there is another whole day to be had after the working day.
Contrast that with when I was a permie, working most nights until 7:30, then travelling home. Screw that!

In fact I was in at 8, i've done my 7.5 hours and at 4pm I'm outta here, off to get into cycle gear now, toodle pip !
