What is the impact of having to accept a daily or hourly rate?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from 1772887 Ontario Limited v. M.N.R., 2011 TCC 204 (CanLII):

They accepted, or in some cases negotiated, a daily or hourly rate but they could do nothing to earn more than work additional hours or days. Being able to obtain a better hourly rate for themselves in a negotiation was submitted not to be reflective of a chance of profit. As noted by Justice Bowie in Gagnon v. M.N.R.:[15] “That, however, is not entrepreneurship; it is simply a reflection of the different values of different people in the labour market”.
