French term or phrase: coéfficient de peine et soin

This term is given as a surcharge added to the price quoted to a client, to cover inconvenience, admin etc. Does anyone know the "official" English translation for this term? Many thanks

Explanation:
From my notes:

Soins et peines Surcharge, service charge, profit & attendance (subcontractor's), handling charge

"Coéfficient" could be "factor", "percentage", I suppose.

I think handling charge fits the bill here - many thanks. However thanks to Julie too - I should have given more context.

Here it relates to (financial) penalties for a failure to deliver services....which is a common system with facilities management

while I don't have a final answer for you the coéfficient is simply a 'rate' and most probably a % in this case.
