'Simply pay the subcontractor for their time'

I had previously experiences where I paid for their time. And in turned out that having the monthly salary and working remote it's not enough to keep a minimum pace on advancing through tickets. I want to avoid this situation.

Curious if the previous experiences were working with a friend. This seems more like a case where just paying your friend's professional rate, and invoicing the client for that work [after markup] is a better fit for the relationship.

I mean, the goal isn't to profit at the expense of your friend.
