Dear Employer.

Let me explain the nature of our relationship.

I have knowledge, skills and time to sell you, you have money to buy my time and use my knowledge and skills during that time.

We have an agreement where I work 0800 to 1700 every normal work day for a negotiated rate.

During that time you are the one to tell me what my tasks are and reap the benefits of their completion.

Outside of that time I decide my own tasks to complete and reap my own rewards for completing them.

If you want to gain access to data I produce outside normal work hours the time it takes to produce said data is me working for you. (Remember that this is a task you have requested I perform).

This means that this is a new business relationship you want to engage with me.

To cut to the chase, how much is my proprietary data worth to you?

I'm afraid you ate the onion on this one.
