RE: Justification for hiring a contract editor

[Paul Hanson <PHanson -at- Quintrex -dot- com>]

Here's a suggestion:
1) Analyze your current workload and who is assigned to what
2) Analyze where your current staff is falling behind in hours
3) Propose that hiring a contractor for the hours you are behind would catch
you up to sea level.
4) Propose that hiring a contractor would be a temporary solution to a
permanent problem and that after the initial hours are completed (say you
can get 160 hours approved), that you will re-evaluate your situation.

We have a contractor that has done a tremendous job with a conversion
project I've been working on since 12/00. I wrote that if I didn't get
outside assistance, and at my current work rate, I would be only 2/3rds
complete with the project on the project's due date. I calculated my work
rate (pages/hour converted) and did the math.
