Do publishers usually pay per ePub or do some pay by the hour?
If you're hiring an outside contractor then the price is usually quoted before the job. With rare exceptions the quoted price is the fixed price.BTW, I do spot check the ebooks quite carefully.

How fast would you want the ebooks to be done? Rush jobs cost more.
