Not happy with yours ronnie???

ive gone it alone again wasnt earning me enough employing

think its an issue with cash flow in that all the money i have spare ends up gone on wages all the stuff rolling over is mine which i never see + he is not working quick enough ,and still building the rounds, getting loads of complaints in the low sun recently too all his work !

i took on far too soon even part time and instead of building quicker/harder to make it pay i just got used to smashing the work out in a few good earning days and having time off but im not making enough so thinking off going solo again and just refining the work too earn good 4.5 days a week

I think you shpuld have put more realistic earning brackets or just added lower earning brackets, I don't think there would be anyone oh here who has an employee who earns them 60k, but I may be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time

YR MISSING THE POINT RONNIE
if a lads taking home say 250 a wk e gonna slow down n drag jobs out
e not going be going full bore to clean 1.5k every wk
to av say 250 take home leaving the boss 1.25k
Title: Re: how much work can our employees earn us?
Post by: Lee GLS on October 12, 2010, 11:05:01 pm
Depends wether it's full or part time, if they work on their own of with you, there are many variables that will contribute to it rather than just plucking a number out of the air
Title: Re: how much work can our employees earn us?
Post by: ronnie paton on October 12, 2010, 11:06:37 pm

Title: Re: how much work can our employees earn us?
Post by: Lee GLS on October 12, 2010, 11:12:39 pm
Working on that assumption and that you have enough work form them to work   5 days a week then 45k, but that won't happen, you will have holiday pay, sick days bad weather ect. Realisticly 25-30k if you have the work for him.
Title: Re: how much work can our employees earn us?
Post by: supernova77 on October 12, 2010, 11:14:29 pm
I'll try a sensible answer...

I dont "employ" anyone (I use a part time subcontractor). But if I did full-time, taking sickness, holidays and bad weather into consideration I reckon they would turn over an average of about £600 a week x 47 working weeks in a year = £28, 200 per year, then minus their wage, equipment costs, insurance, worry, stress etc...

not sure what you mean?

im asking for peoples experiences im not saying what is right or wrong or even coming on here to say what mine earn me just wanting to compare a relastic poll would do that.

an employee should work to a good satandard and speed at all times it doesnt matter to the amployee what they turnover unles there on price work but any boss with experiences knows what can be done.

an employees doesnt have to run build and substain a business or pay for all the expenses that go with it so what you say doesnt mcake sense?

see gav from what you say you think has a worker and not an employee ie if one guy turnsover 1.5k a week and the employees takes home 250 it doesnt leave any were near 1.25k and seondly the boss isnt getting this either.

an employee clearing 250 is prob on 320ish plus you have holidays/sik to consider plus weekly running costs of vehicle and business plus employee NI contributes.

The list can be endless so the boss would get far less than 1.25k.

and iv never said an employee would earn me 1.5k a week

you did miss the point ronnie
employee's always think the boss is aving it
they dont see the costs etc or when they throw sickies etc
they just see or think they r earning boss a fortune
Title: Re: how much work can our employees earn us?
Post by: ronnie paton on October 12, 2010, 11:26:52 pm
i see gav what your saying and yes you often get them from staff.

thats not what this is about its about seeing what other people that employee are able to get there staff to turnover.

you have to make your staff feel apreciated whiich can be hard little trips and meals hristmas tips and bonuses and tellthem how muh it costs for things and they will soon understand

The best thing to do when offering someone a window cleaning job is to sit down with them before they start and show them an exact breakdown of what it costs you to employ them, and explain to them that if those costs aren't met then there is no job!
