Assume the individual member of staff can drive, is timely, approachable and polite, works with the intention of producing £240 of work per day/£1,200.00 per week (7 hours a day work at £35.00 per hour). You do not pay them for wet days nor sick nor holidays.

Matt, it is a legal requirement to pay your staff holidays

good for you for doing it yourself now anyway mate, sounds like he lost a good staff member had he of looked after you things may have not changed.

with 5 staff and you did he have all the health and safety paper work in place, my guess is no. These people are on a tight rope. one acceident and they will be right in the brown stuff, and they should already know this.

Your better off out of it

[king marko]

I never saw any documents of any kind!! He threated to make us sign a contract once but It never materialised
The problem I had was I couldn't work with a poor van and old, cobbled together equipment - it was a fair crack wage wise I suppose but I began to resent giving him the money!
Best decision I made methinks going it alone

It would have been easier in hindsight if I'd said that they were self-employed, which Helen picked up on in an earlier post. Of course a full time self-employed individual has to be employed by law, but there ways around that particular scenario.

I pay my staff hol pay.

I don't like it honestly I don't, I think that it should be banned in its current format. I've got 4 full time staff all wanting nigh on 5 wks off with pay so that's 20wks wages peed up the wall.

That's without people being off ill and without taking into account the problems it causes when a driver is off.

As said before window cleaning can be very distressing at times.

At least its saturday though and I've got an indian takeaway heading my way. First of the year i might add.

Cheers,

Dean.

I find it interesting that a majority want to pay £60 for a gross profit of £180 per day. This highlights to me the fact there is room to compete on price and still retain a healthy profit margin. And thats including delivering a more attractive financial package to prospective staff members

Bloody hell dean ur doing well these dys four full timers

distressing at times is an understatment Dean, you been on that wine again 

[Dean Taberner]

Richy,

I wouldn't say doing well mate I just don't know when to say no with regards to new work. With the type of work that we do there isn't much competition because nobody fancies it. Lol.

Ian,

I'm currently suffering from super man flu but I'm giving the low c a go

Busy fool haha gave was saying good things bout u the other day good to be too busy coz ya can always downsize and pick the cream

[Dean Taberner]

I wouldn't say busy fool rich,

Like I said before on a different thread, there's a massive difference between earning money and making money.

Apparently anyone can do mega time a wk on the glass as a one man band and "earn" 1k+  a wk.

Making 1k+ a wk is a different challenge in its own right ;-).

dean cant say no
he as to get more work for me

I used to hate pressing the pay button each week for wages, let alone holiday pay

That's without people being off ill and without taking into account the problems it causes when a driver is off.
Total re-schedule of work in 5 minutes flat......i remember it well

As said before window cleaning can be very distressing at times.

At least its saturday though and I've got an indian takeaway heading my way. First of the year i might add.

and many more to come

Cheers,

 yes you should or you'll go down to the funny farm quicker than you think
 i should cry there is about 5 inches of snow outide and it's still bloody snowing, and I pay wages in snow
 if the worst should happen and you can't work, ask staffies to take paid holiday, ok you still have to pay, but only once if you see what I mean (some may agree, some may not but its worth a go  
 I need to learn to be horrible to my staff and quickly.
No you don't, firm but fair is always the best way
