How do you deal with bad weather I'm happy to work in rain now as long as its now chucking it down but today the wind is picking up 25-30 mph.
Are employee days off due to weather just part of employing or do you just send them out and wait for the complaints.

Just been dealing with two complaints today due to wind and rain. Its on a round I manage but don't clean.
Offered to clean the house again, this clean is free and next clean will be half price.
i love shocking people some time. He was speechless its a £15 house so can easily soak up the issue of doing it for free.
He left the phone very happy.

My part timer knows if no work then no pay EG was meant to be out today but told him not working but will be tomorrow - explained this is just how it is before he started so no issue.
When he becomes full time then same will apply no work no pay but he can earn money from canvassing any time he feels like it.

Blue sky and 60mph + winds easy, no chance of working here. Sky news forecasts storms until May, hope they are completely wrong

No work no pay, the guys are on 30 hrs pw contract over six days
So if weather is bad they catch up over the week and have to come in Saturday for outstanding work, if they are still short on hours/work they work extra the following week.

They also forecast we would be under a blanket of snow and ice since last November, so far it's been the best winter for years (in the NW anyway).
