Different fuzzy bands for client and translator

My apologies if this is ridiculously easy or totallly impossible, but I'm fairly new around here and would appreciate a hand, if possible.

A new and potentially important client wants to define fuzzy bands which are different from those I have always used with my freeleance translators. For example, let's say the client wishes to bill me based on 100%, 95-99% and 80-94%, but all my freelance team have always been paid on the basis of 100-99%, 85-98% and 75-84%. Can anybody give me a hint about how to approach this problem, adapting to the client's needs on the billing side while also maintaining the existing criteria with my translation team for their billing?

Any hint to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    If it was me I would discuss the project with the translators, explain how you are being billed and then agree to work on the same basis.  I think if you don't do this you are creating more work for yourself and potentially introducing conversations nobody wants to have.  I haven't experienced this situation personally in this industry but I have many years of experience in the construction industry subcontracting work to people I knew and worked with well, but each contract was billed in different ways.  So being back to back makes things much smoother for everyone and you always know where you stand.
