So newbie here with only two dates so far. Both dates however started 10 to 15 minuets late. I gave both providers the benefit of the doubt and honored the end times reasoning that for one reason or another their day schedule is running behind. Much like a dentist or doctors appointment, the later in the day the worse it usually gets.

I had one of the more honest providers set a clock. I go by when I call her that I out side her room. If she opens or call her every min, when I FINISH if 10 min later I pay her the sixty bucks and leave.

These are independent business women. They all run their businesses differently.  

then the clock starts when you enter the door and ends when you leave the same way.

Assume that the clock starts at the moment of first contact on the actual date, whether that's entering the room or meeting at the bar or restaurant. A shower is often on the clock, but I've been in circumstances where the clock started immediately after the shower, but that was clearly stated upfront.  

1. In theory, the clock should usually start ticking when you walk in the room for an incall.  But actual practice varies by provider.  And if you meet at the hotel bar or in the lobby rather than at the door of the room itself, a lot of providers will probably go from the time of first contact.  If all she's doing is meeting you at the bar or lobby and then taking you straight up to the room (no dinner, no drinks) then you're not talking about a lot of time and I think it's fair enough to have that time be on the clock.  If you ask her about whether or not that counts on the clock, you'll probably just come across as penny-pinching and time-obsessed, which can get things off to a bad start.  If you are having dinner or drinks before going up to the room, generally that will all be paid time so time of first contact is appropriate to start the clock.  
 
2.  How to handle tardiness varies even more by the provider and the situation.  If YOU are the reason for a late start, I think it's fair for her to start the clock at your scheduled appointment time and make you eat the time that you were late.  If SHE is the reason for a late start, I think it's more fair to start the clock when she is ready and opens the door and tack any wait time onto the back end.  But providers are all over the place with how they actually handle this.  And in theory, they should be allowing some time between scheduled appointments to account for things like this.  But reality and theory do not always match.

by provider. The more established GFE ladies will start the clock when you enter the room rather than meet them in the bar or lobby which is usually done when the elevators require a key or the provider wants to see you in RL to ensure her safety.

I've been shorted with a 50 min (or less!!) hour every now and then, but I never made a big deal about it other than to note, "So soon? I thought we started at X:15 and that I could stay until (X+1):15?" (Translation: next time, I expect a full hour!)  

If you are late arriving that's on you...  Having been caught by a weather event that blew my date (& not in a good way) I learned to arrive early to the call point.  From there you are given directions for the final approach.  I find hanging around in a hotel parking lot to be conspicious... so after I find the designated call place, I withdraw to the corner coffee shop to wait.  I time my return.  This works well in my suburban setting.  In an urban setting, I might choose the hotel coffee shop.  
If I were to meet for dinner or drinks, the time would be compensated so would start on arrival.  Ladies who do much of this often instruct you to place the donation in a card to present to her on arrival.  
If she is late starting, she should extend your time on the exit side.  Gals should not book back to back appointments...  but leave herself time to wash up, shower, rest...  so she should cut into her rest time to fix scheduling problems.  It's NOT OK to collect the full fee for a shortened session.

I have had sessions interrupted...  we were naked on her bed & just went things were getting fun, her personal phone rang.  We were in her home & she apoligized & explained that if she didn't answer we might have a family member show up to check on her!  Yikes!    
After the call was over...  and she (mostly) calmed down from arguing with her sister...  we resumed the session.  It was a little hard to get back to that happy place but the total play time was as agreed or maybe a little more

Realistically 9 out of 10 times, a one-hour appointment will usually get you 45 min, and on occasion, it will go 50-55 min. You will have no way to know which girls will actually give you the full time until you have a session with them. Yes, they are out there, but it's best to think realistically (meaning 45 min or so) than expect a full hour.  Also MANY girls will try to "end" your session soon after you are orgasmically satisfied, regardless of how much time is left. (I'm not being a cynic here, but these are the facts.)

A full hour in the room will NEVER be a full hour of action.  It takes time to undress & re-dress.  A bit of chatter while doing so.  Don't forget washing your hands & a quick wash of privates or a shower hitting the important spots... all take a cut of your time.    
To get an hour of action, you would have to be behind closed doors for 1 1/4-1 1/2 hrs.  

Assume that the clock starts running the second you step inside her door. Shower is usually considered part of the paid hour, even if *she* mandates it.  

Essencially agrees with what clients expect from a good provider.  Gives good info on circumstances which were not previously mentioned.
Thx  

This is one of the reasons I stopped doing 1 hours. It felt too impersonal and to "clock-y". There are some people who purposefully book longer dates so they don't have to feel the clock, and can leave early - which is expensive to do. But if you find yourself graduating to longer appointments, this is definitely something I suggest, granted the lady is interested in pillow talk.

I'm never late, period, but I would imagine your provider should give you a full hour since it was her fault.

thank you!

 Sometimes, there is a late start for reasons beyond anyone's control. Trouble on the street outside her incall (in NYC); feeling the need to be cautious in a hotel lobby and taking an extra few minutes reading headlines at the newsstand. Taking an extra wrong-way circuit around her floor to avoid hotel staff outside her room. Etc.  
   
 But, for obvious reasons, I never announce, like a Railroad Dispatcher, "It is now 8:37. I will set my timer for 60 minutes starting ... NOW! All aboard!" What a mood killer that would be. (Unless we were doing Railroad Dispatcher / Female Hobo role play.  
   
 I have been admitted late (her fault) to some places at, say, x:15. I would have liked to say in those (specific) instances, "Gosh, it's already X:15. Should I switch to the 45 minute rate (she has a 45 min rate) to be out by X+1 or can I stay the full hour?"  I haven't said that yet. Yeah, sometimes I don't get the full hour. But sometimes I get more than my hour (depending on her own schedule).  
   
 I consider showering to be on the clock. If she joins you in the shower, it is SURELY on the clock! There is one Provider (forgot her name) who was tired of guys not showering because they didn't want to lose a single minute of fun so she offers a 70 or 75 minute hour and specifically says that she expects you to shower and THEN you get your squeaky clean 60 minute hour.  It removes that element of doubt for the guys and eases things up.  
   
 For almost all, once you're in the door, the clock starts. If you chit chat for 30 minutes, that's on your dime. With experience, you'll figure out how to make a timely segue from chit chat to other activities.  
   
 I suspect you'll experience a range of long hours and short hours and you'll have to decide when it feels OK and when it doesn't ... and book or rebook accordingly. Many reviews will say "Not a clock watcher." to let you know that she doesn't make you feel rushed out on the dot of 60 minutes. Do not abuse that. She probably knows very well when to start moving you along to clean up, take a good bye shower, get you dressed and out the door. The thing is, she makes it feel natural and it feels good and keeps your mood elevated long past the time you're gone. (A lot different from mamasan knocking on the door: "Time is up!")  
   
 I do NOT have a simple rule such as "If she shorts your time, she probably isn't worth it anyway." because I've had some great short-hour experiences that I really wish went longer!    
   
 You'll get the hang of it. Whatever happens, have fun figuring it out!
