The Consultant can be paid or compensated in many different ways. If the Consultant will be paid a certain amount (rate) for each time period, use "Hourly", "Weekly", "Monthly" or "Yearly" as appropriate. If the Consultant is to be paid a certain fixed amount for the complete performance under the agreement, use "Fixed Amount". If the Compensation is several payments or involves the trade of services or goods, use "Other". If you have a certain rate for the services performed together with additional remuneration, use this question for the basic rate and use the "Additional Compensation" question to describe the additional compensation.
