No one in there right mind will be working doing what he wants for £85 per day , i now pay £150 per day domestic and up to £200 per day on commercial both plus bonuses . £130 in the NE is very good pay

It’s not worth the risks involved , also look at what they are expecting working at heights with ladders for £85 per day it’s a joke . Also if that’s 8 hours per day think that figure will be below minimum wage

Remember our local window cleaning business who was offering £14 an hour using your own unlettered van and equipment and posing as his staff by wearing his uniform?

I was speaking to one of his ex employees before they all became ex employees. He said the wage per hour was based on performance. He said they were being paid 3 or £4 a house completed, which would equate to £14 an hour. If you worked harder, you could earn even more.

If you didn't work due to weather etc, then you didn't get any pay.

Even when I paid people cash in hand, I still gave them a cpl of quid more than whatever the min wage was per hour.

I was talking to a lad I know the other day he is on the fiddle and getting paid £85 and doing general building stuff, he was happy enough but I just don't get it at all. He has no job security and is looking over his shoulder all the time, the guy he is working for is a millionaire and recently paid 600k for some building plots to build houses on.

He is taking a risk and thinking he is sticking it to the man but the reality is he will be worse off with no holiday pay and just no pay whenever he is off for any reason or not needed.

I love how the OP has just disappeared. The subject of wages has always been controversial on this forum but I think everyone is in agreement on this one being unacceptable.

He was on here last night but hasn’t commented

£85 a day is roughly £22k a year which I think is reasonable for an employee

I used to pay a lot less years ago when I had employees!

Not me....I think it's a fair wage for an employee

Well you'd get fined as it's below minimum wage

That depends on how many hours your workin. I pay my lad a bit more than the op but we only do 5/6 hours a day so nearly £20 per hour. He gets all the usual benefits an employee should legally get and a few more on top.

He states 18-23 jobs a day working on his own, and using ladders. Would do well to find someone to do that schedule in 5-6 hours

He would be on a 35 hour week(7 hours per day)as its dark past 330pm-4pm during the winter months
