Subcontractors and billing

["Jeff Jansen" <jeff2 -dot- 0 -at- modestsystems -dot- com>]

Hello,
 
I am a freelance self-employed tech writer. I'm considering hiring a
subcontractor (more junior than I) to work on a project, but I've never
hired a subcontractor before. I'm wondering how those of you who have done
this handle the hourly billing arrangement with both the sub and the client.
Let's say I bill the client for my time at $75/hr. If I pay my sub $50/hr,
would you bill that time to the client at $50, and then directly bill your
time reviewing the work and managing the sub at $75? Or would you bill all
the sub's time at $75, and then let your review and management time come out
of the $25/hr difference, without billing your actual hours doing that
particular work? Does anyone use any other scenario that works for them?
 
TIA,
